Old Man Kensey |
| Old man Kensey |
| Wants to be a sign painter |
| First, he’s got to learn to read |
| He’s going to be a clown on TV |
| Flexes his elbow, taut and free |
| (That's my folly) I believe |
| Drink up the lake |
| Kensey’s awake |
| (If that’s my folly) |
| That’s my mistake |
| Old man Kensey |
| Wants to be a goalie |
| First, he’s got to learn to count |
| He’s going to be a clown on a circus mount |
| Letters to me signed in sopped up tar |
| (That's my folly) Kensey’s going far |
| John, Bill and Ed |
| Stand on your head |
| (If that’s my folly) |
| I’m ready to go |
| Old man Kensey |
| Wants to be a dog catcher |
| First, he’s got to learn to stand |
| He’s gonna be a clown in a marching band |
| Letters to me signed, ransom, greed |
| (If that’s my folly) I believe |
| Drink up the lake |
| John, Bill and Ed |
| (If that’s my folly) |
| That’s my mistake |
| Kensey’s awake |
| Stand on your head |
| (If that’s my folly) |
| I’m ready to go |
| Drink up the lake |
| Stand on your head |
| (If that’s my folly) |
| I’m ready to go |
