" I want to tell you something;
|
Listen to me,
|
I'm trying to say, I'm better than you,
|
I am only what I am"
|
|
" We must not stand still,
|
For the night is coming,
|
Every man, every woman and child,
|
Everybody help me"
|
|
I hear, only what I want to hear,
|
But, I have to believe in something,
|
Have to believe in just one thing.
|
I said Father Washington, you're all mixed up,
|
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup.
|
Well, spare a listen for a restless fool,
|
There's something missing when I need your rule.
|
|
Well,hey there;
|
You tell me you're a holy man, But, although I am just a beginner,
|
I don't see you as a winner.
|
I said, Sister Washington, you're all washed up,
|
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup;
|
If I could tell you what you need to know;
|
If I could tell you to get on with the show.
|
|
I'd rather never leave her,
|
There's a storm in my head,
|
Makes me hear what you say;
|
Just was it true?
|
So, what have I to do?
|
-Well, what has he to do?-
|
+Oh, what is there to-oo do+
|
What oh-oh-ohoh
|
|
"All creatures great and small,
|
all things wise and wonderful, the lord god made them all"
|
|
Mary, oh tell me what I'm living for,
|
'Cause I feel like I'm tossed in the river,
|
Oh' have you a son to deliver.
|
|
I said, Father Washington, you're all mixed up,
|
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup,
|
you tell the children what you need to know,
|
But, will they listen when it's time to go.
|
|
Oh, Sister Robinson, you're all washed up,
|
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup,
|
Can someone tell me what I need to know,
|
Can someone help me to get on with the show.
