Old Man Kensey lyrics

Old man Kensey

Wants to be a sign painter

First, he's got to learn to read

He's going to be a clown on TV

Flexes his elbow, taut and free

(That's my folly) I believe

[Chorus]

Drink up the lake

Kensey's awake

(If that's my folly)

That's my mistake

Old man Kensey

Wants to be a goalie

First, he's got to learn to count

He's going to be a clown on a circus mount

Letters to me signed in sopped up tar

(That's my folly) Kensey's going far

[Chorus]

John, Bill and Ed

Stand on your head

(If that's my folly)

I'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 me signed, ransom, greed

(If that's my folly) I believe

[Chorus]

Drink up the lake

John, Bill and Ed

(If that's my folly)

That's my mistake

Kensey's awake

Stand on your head

(If that's my folly)

I'm ready to go

Drink up the lake

Stand on your head

(If that's my folly)

I'm ready to go
