Song Lyrics

Old Man Kensey wants to be a sign painterFirst he`s got to learn to readHe`s gonna be a clown on TVFlexes his elbow taunt and freeThat`s my folly, I believeDrink up the lake Kensey`s awakeThat`s my folly, that`s my mistakeOld Man Kensey wants to be a goalieFirst he`s got to learn to countHe`s gonna be a clown on a circus mountLetters to be signed and dropped offKensey`s going farJohn, Bill and Ed, stand on your headThat`s my folly, I`m ready to goOld Man Kensey wants to be a dog catcherFirst he`s got to learn to standHe`s gonna be a clown in a marching bandLetters to be signed ransom greed That`s my folly, I believeDrink up the lake, John, Bill and Ed,That`s my folly, that`s my mistakeKensey`s awake, stand on your headThat`s my folly, I`m ready to go
