A Very Smelly, Grubby Little Oik / Bobbing Wide / Come On Back / Oik (Reprise)

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.

Though only five-foot four, you could see he was the man among men

Kickin' me to the floor and his eyes would only water

Thankin' one once again you could hear him saying in that order now

Ease him while you can, start pickin' what you oughta

Some say he's a little crazy

'Bad Smell' is passing by

Maybe he's living in a haze

But you should see that boy fly

Standing not far away, you could see him with a finger up his nose

Can't bring myself to say what he's doing with the other

Twice in the afternoon he would come out with his head up in a cloud

Selling hot-air balloons to the people who could bother

His smile would send you senses reeling

From your toe jump to your head

And his breath would guarantee your soul

That you would rather be dead

Though he may seem a little crazy

Distasteful to your eye

He may be living in a haze

But you should see that boy fly

Some said he's a little crazy

'Bad Smell' is passing by

He'll change the expression on your face

When you just see that boy fly...

For you I would change the day

Wrap it up and take it all away

Give the night to the morning

Let it ride on into the sky

You know you just came to see

Not what was right, but what was wrong with me

And I got strength from your feeling

When you smiled you'd pass me on by

Come on back, come on back

Lord knows I got a lack

Only when you come, you know that we'll be one

So come... back

With you, all the world would be

So small that you could hardly see

The amount of confusion

Leading all who'll pass life on by

Some time when you're feeling low

We can take the time to get up and go

From this world to another

By balloon I'll take you there, so...

Come on back, come on back

Lord knows I got a lack

Only when you come, you know that we'll be one

So come... back
