[00:04.36] | He's a miniature philosopher |
[00:08.23] | He stands five foot three |
[00:10.13] | |
[00:12.18] | So no one takes him seriously |
[00:14.05] | |
[00:17.30] | He's in love with Gertrude Lullaby |
[00:19.72] | |
[00:20.97] | But she doesn't care for him |
[00:22.07] | |
[00:24.89] | He's like a house boy |
[00:26.14] | to Miss Lullaby |
[00:29.03] | And their future looks very dim |
[00:33.10] | He's a miniature philosopher |
[00:35.92] | |
[00:36.94] | He takes notes on all he reads |
[00:39.64] | |
[00:40.57] | But that doesn't satisfy his needs |
[00:43.31] | |
[00:46.37] | He's a desk clerk at the bank and trust |
[00:48.86] | |
[00:49.86] | There's so many contracts and paperwork to do |
[00:52.48] | |
[00:53.99] | He gets so busy at the bank and trust |
[00:56.48] | |
[00:57.66] | There is no time for Nietzsche or Camus |
[01:00.59] | |
[01:02.03] | He's a miniature philosopher |
[01:06.09] | He writes essays on Voltaire |
[01:07.19] | |
[01:10.24] | But if he died no one would care |
[01:13.57] | |
[01:15.33] | He doesn't know why his life turned out this way |
[01:18.72] | |
[01:19.53] | No one ever reads his dissertations or allegoric plays |
[01:25.02] | |
[01:26.08] | So he comforts himself while searching a rhyme |
[01:29.39] | |
[01:31.20] | That the public rarely recognize a genius in their time |
[01:35.94] | (poor little guy) |
[01:37.09] | |
[01:39.27] | He's a miniature philosopher |
[01:43.01] | Though he hasn't got a friend |
[01:45.82] | |
[01:47.38] | He's sure he'll be famous in the end |
[00:04.36] | He' s a miniature philosopher |
