When I was young and having fun and climing every tree
I filled my head with Ice Cream and my heart with Sandra Dee
And then one day while I's at play I heard my Daddy sigh
He chewed his pipe and kicked the cat and looked me in the eye - he
said:
Keep neat, stay clean, your harmony likes to be seen
Go West, get laid, and never join the fire brigade
No no no, never join the Fire Brigade
In '68 while meditating on the cosmic bond
I met a mystic Guru who waved the Wonderous Wand
I said "Oh Mighty Master, won't you tell me what you see?"
He stuck a tulip up his nose and said these words to me - he said:
So when you're glum and overcome and trouble's on your back
When fate has pricked your bubble and your silver cloud turned black
To bite your shoe or drink hot glue will never bring you glee
(slow
arpegiate)
So just before you hit the floor, just say this after me:
Brian Prothrow is a British stage actor who made one delightful album of
funny, sing-along songs that reflect his vaudeville roots. A rare
treasure.
