He smiled and rubbed the stubble on his chin 
He sure shall find the weariness and dreariness of life that's growing thin 
Yet he didn't have so very far to go 
With a pencil in his hand he will travel on as planned 
With a mere step in the mountain to a light 

Craise Finton Kirk, see him go, on his way 
Oh they don't know where he is 
Very very nice, very very nice 

Even in the morning when he slept 
Something odd is missing 
There's nothing very much to talk about 
And nothing very much to see 

Craise Finton Kirk, see him go, on his way 
Oh they don't know where he is 
Very very nice, very very nice 

Talks about the place he'd like to go 
And you never see the worrying and hurrying and that makes a person slow 
Yet you wouldn't think he'd be so hard to find 
Yet he looks so very busy but there's nothing on his mind 
And his wavy hair continues not to grow 

Craise Finton Kirk, see him go, on his way 
Oh they don't know where he is 
Very very nice, very very nice 

Craise Finton Kirk, see him go, on his way 
Oh they don't know where he is 
Very very nice, very very nice

Bee Gees

The Bee Gees were a musical group founded in 1958. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s. The group sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognisable; Robin's clear vibrato lead was a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The brothers wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists. more »
