Beware
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Step right up take a good good look
At the latest pie that fate could cook
This is no phenom no supermarket guru
Just a revelation from me to you
So don't believe a thing that you might hear
At least from the last 30 - 40 years
Cause it wasn't long ago just before the reign of Nero
We had no concept of zero
So beware children beware
The devil may care
Six little soldiers with stripes on their shoulders
Never with a thought to dare
So take aim children take aim
The drill sargeant sang
With ample perspiration ordered
Stop your respiration
And end the flow of oxygen to the brain
So wake up sleepyheads listen what I have to say
As you near your independence day
Just keep in mind, in time you'll find so few
So few have your best interests in mind
So don't believe a thing you might hear
At least from the 3 - 4.000 years
Cause it wasn't long ago just before the reign of Nero
We had no concept of zero
So beware children beware
The devil may care…
And maybe he's the only one
