Old Man Kensey wants to be a sign painter

First he s got to learn to read
He s gonna be a clown on TV
Flexes his elbow taunt and free
That s my follyI believe
Drink up the lake Kensey s awake
That s my follythat s my mistake

Old Man Kensey wants to be a goalie
First he s got to learn to count
He s gonna be a clown on a circus mount
Letters to be signed and dropped off
Kensey s going far
JohnBill and Edstand on your head
That s my follyI m ready to go

Old Man Kensey wants to be a dog catcher
First he s got to learn to stand
He s gonna be a clown in a marching band
Letters to be signed ransom greed
That s my follyI believe
Drink up the lakeJohnBill and Ed
That s my follythat s my mistake
Kensey s awakestand on your head
That s my follyI m ready to go
