to a drummer
so whatcha gonna do when you go to the zoo
uncle up the ante with the dippity do
keep a log kick a dog pack a pistol Pete
icon the bike on a tricky retreat
of mice of men of rats of stoats of
kith and of kin of Holland of votes
assisting a brother in burning a boat
i-don't-want to love when I can't have
i-don't-want to have when I can't love
negatory nightshade hunky dory day
even in the twilight the color of grey
seems duller than a dishrag dumber than a post
(Officer Windbag is warmer than toast)
kind or callous tried or true
all that you are is all that you do as
you seem as you dream as you deem as you do
i-don't-want to feel what I can't know
i-don't-want to know what I can't feel
(keep repeating until it's all blabbedy blab
and then stick in a guitar solo)
