Yes, there's a storm a comin, it's on the Times front page With a black and white photo of some kind of giant tidal wave On account of how everybody's gone ahead and behaved The street preacher's wound-up, screaming none will be saved "By the pharaoh's order," cries the fouled referee, "There's a new law round here says that the curfew will be From ten in the morning til quarter past three Anybody outside after that's gonna haveta answer to me!" You better get your name cleared, Bluebeard, fore they make you walk the plank Better call off your watchdogs, General, fore they all pull rank You better get your children, Mama, bow your head and give thanks You better grow your hair long, Samson-you gonna need your strength You're tween a rock and a hardplace they're still trying to construct When the bombs fall, Know-It-All, you better have the good sense to duck At the rodeo, John Doe, keep your seat on that truck And bring along your timepiece, Maurice, you gonna need some luck Well everyone's getting bored, but I've already had me a few Better take a knee, Bruce Lee, if you need something to do It's a sure-thing, Sherlock, but you ain't got a clue Aw, get out of here, Shakespeare-nobody asked you You better get your name cleared, Bluebeard, fore they make you walk the plank Better call off your watchdogs, General, fore they all pull rank You better get your children, Mama, bow your head and give thanks You better grow your hair long, Samson-you gonna need your strength Jumpin Jupiter, Lucifer, what's become of your pride? Didn't anybody tell you that the sooth-sayer lied? For a sheckel, Dr. Jeckyll, we can go for a ride I'll show you someplace remote where you can lay low and hide Now I'm no Houdini and I'm no Jesse James But you're gonna need brass keys, Ulysses, to get out of them chains You better smell the roses, Moses, and talk some sense to these brains Otherwise all of your guys is gonna wind up changing their trains You better get your name cleared, Bluebeard, fore they make you walk the plank Better call off your watchdogs, General, fore they all pull rank You better get your children, Mama, bow your head and give thanks You better grow your hair long, Samson-you gonna need your strength Grow your hair long, Samson-til it's down to your knees Grow your hair long, Samson-til it's long as you please Grow your hair long, Samson-til it's at full-length Grow your hair long, Samson-you gonna need your strength The doctor's in the dentist's chair, his tooth's getting pulled- Your wienereimer, Oppenheimer, has come down with a cold I tried calling the police, the operator put me on hold I can see your cards, Beauregard, if I were you I would fold The captain's gone AWOL on some binocular tour With a lady in sales he met at the marine supply store When the saloonkeeper's drunk he'll give everyone a free pour But you better get it while you can fore he ain't drunk anymore You better get your name cleared, Bluebeard, fore they make you walk the plank Better call off your watchdogs, General, fore they all pull rank You better get your children, Mama, bow your head and give thanks You better grow your hair long, Samson-you gonna need your strength Fare thee well, Rafael, I guess you done pretty good They did their best to imitate you, but none of them could Ahab took a stab and saw what was under the hood Then he tried to say it in English-no one understood Goldilocks needs help, she's got her hand caught in the hive You better be heartfelt, Mrs. Roosevelt, when you write those boys' wives You gonna need an editor, Senator, to keep talking that jive It's neither heroes nor villians, it's just the lucky survive You better get your name cleared, Bluebeard, fore they make you walk the plank Better call off your watchdogs, General, fore they all pull rank You better get your children, Mama, bow your head and give thanks You better grow your hair long, Samson-you gonna need your strength
