| I want to tell you something;
|
| Listen to me,
|
| I’m trying to say, I’m better than you,
|
| I am only what I am We must not stand still,
|
| For the night is coming,
|
| Every man, every woman and child,
|
| Everybody help me I hear, only what I want to hear,
|
| But, I have to believe in something,
|
| Have to believe in just one thing.
|
| I said Father Washington, you’re all mixed up,
|
| Collecting sinners in an old tin cup.
|
| Well, spare a listen for a restless fool,
|
| There’s something missing when I need your rule.
|
| Well, hey there;
|
| You tell me you’re a holy man, But, although I am just a beginner,
|
| I don’t see you as a winner.
|
| I said, Sister Washington, you’re all washed up,
|
| Collecting teardrops in a paper cup;
|
| If I could tell you what you need to know;
|
| If I could tell you to get on with the show.
|
| I’d rather never leave her,
|
| There’s a storm in my head,
|
| Makes me hear what you say;
|
| Just was it true?
|
| So, what have I to do?
|
| -Well, what has he to do?-
|
| +Oh, what is there to-oo do+
|
| What oh-oh-ohoh
|
| All creatures great and small,
|
| all things wise and wonderful, the lord god made them all
|
| Mary, oh tell me what I’m living for,
|
| 'Cause I feel like I’m tossed in the river,
|
| Oh’have you a son to deliver.
|
| I said, Father Washington, you’re all mixed up,
|
| Collecting sinners in an old tin cup,
|
| you tell the children what you need to know,
|
| But, will they listen when it’s time to go.
|
| Oh, Sister Robinson, you’re all washed up,
|
| Collecting teardrops in a paper cup,
|
| Can someone tell me what I need to know,
|
| Can someone help me to get on with the show. |
