Who took your measurements?
|
From your toes to the top of your head
|
Yea, you know
|
Who bought you clothes and new shoes
|
And wrote you a book you never read
|
Yea, you know
|
|
Who was it, yeah you know, we real cool
|
On the far side of the morning,
|
Who was it, yeah you know, we real cool
|
Now I hope you're listening, are you?
|
|
Who was it you called the good shepherd,
|
Rounding up the kids for their meal
|
Who chased your shadow running out behind
|
Clinging to your high flying heels
|
Your high flying, high flying, high flying heels
|
|
Who was it, yeah you know, we real cool
|
On the far side of the morning, who was it
|
Yeah you know, we real cool
|
And I hope you're listening too
|
|
Who measured the distance from the planets
|
Right down to your big blue spinning world
|
And heartbeats and tears and nervous laughter
|
Spilling down all over you, girl
|
|
Who was it, yeah you know, we real cool
|
And the world keeps on turning
|
Who was it, yeah you know, we real cool
|
And I hope you're listening, are you?

Sirius is 8.6 light years away
|
Arcturas is 37
|
The past is the past and it's here to stay
|
Wikipedia's heaven
|
When you don't want to remember, you know
|
On the far side of the morning
|
Who was it, yea you know, we real cool
|
And I hope you hear me, and you'll call
|
Yeah, we real cool
|
Yeah, we real, real cool
|
