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
