Wooo-ohhhh |
|
Old Mr. Joe he build a house, yeah |
|
On top of some hill |
|
Old Mr. Joe knew he had to go, so |
|
He got right down and wrote a will |
|
He say now here is to mother hen, and her chicken, |
|
lord have mercy now |
|
Master will you take a roll in the mud, |
|
like he know he should |
|
The old barnyard, the old barnyard, birds and the chick, |
|
oooh-ee |
|
Who's got to watch out for brother mangoose, |
|
with his top hap and walking stick |
|
It's just the poor's brainwashing |
|
They told me a long time gone, it's just the poor's brain washing, |
|
ooh-ee (the old brain washing) |
|
Now look at a thing like this |
|
Cinderella and her long lost fellow, in the midnight hour, |
|
she lost her silver slipper |
|
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, while Jack and Jill |
|
had themselves a fall |
|
It's just the poor (brain washing) |
|
And I don't need it no longer |
|
It's just the poor's brain washing |
|
Coming through to a poor man's child, ooh-ee, look at this |
|
Little Miss Muffet she sat on her tuffet |
|
While Little Red Ridinghood delivered her Grandma's food |
|
Ooh-ee ooh-ee, ooh-ee |
|
Look at one more thing like this |
|
The cow jumping over the moon, while the dish got jealous, |
|
he grabbed the hand of the spoon |
|
It's just the poor brain washing, and I don't need it no longer |
|
I don't want it no longer |
|
I don't need it no longer |
|
And I don't care for no more brain washing |
|
It isn't good for my soul... |
