| Ooh, old Mr. Joe he build a house, yeah
 | 
| On top of some hill
 | 
| Old Mr. Joe knew he had to go, so
 | 
| He got right down and wrote a will
 | 
| He say now here is to mother hen and her chicken
 | 
| Lord have mercy now
 | 
| Master will you take a roll in the mud
 | 
| Like he know he should
 | 
| The old barnyard, the old barnyard, birds and the chick
 | 
| Ooh-ee, who’s got to watch out for brother mongoose
 | 
| With his top hap and walking stick
 | 
| It’s just the poor’s brainwashing
 | 
| They told me a long time gone
 | 
| It’s just the poor’s brain washing
 | 
| The old brain washing
 | 
| Now look at a thing like this
 | 
| Cinderella and her long lost fellow, in the midnight hour
 | 
| She lost her silver slipper
 | 
| Humpty dumpty sat on a wall, while Jack and Jill
 | 
| Had themselves a fall
 | 
| It’s just the poor brain washing and I don’t need it no longer
 | 
| It’s just the poor’s brain washing
 | 
| Coming through to a poor man’s child
 | 
| Ooh, look at this
 | 
| Little Miss Muffet she sat on her tuffet
 | 
| While Little Red Ridinghood delivered her grandma’s food
 | 
| Ooh-ee, ooh-ee, ooh-ee
 | 
| Look at one more thing like this
 | 
| The cow jumping over the moon, while the dish got jealous
 | 
| He grabbed the hand of the spoon
 | 
| It’s just the poor brain washing and I don’t need it no longer
 | 
| I don’t want it no longer
 | 
| I don’t need it no longer
 | 
| And I don’t care for no more brain washing
 | 
| It isn’t good for my soul |
