Hi Too Loo Rye

Mother once I awoke as an old man.

My name was Stanley Forbes

And I threw tin cans at everyone who passed my porch.

I dont know why I did but I didn't throw them at the kids

So I was a good guy

I remember yellin hi

Too loo rye

It's the day before I die

So why

Too loo rye

Cause everybody is walking by? Oh hi

Too loo rye

It's the day before I die

And I wanna sigh and cry

Alongside my brothers

Mother once i awoke, as a squirrel

And I jumped from tree to tree to tree to tree,

It was me at the acme of my career.

I saved all I caught that year, which is a lot of acorns let me tell you.

I was very resourceful and

I cried

Too loo rye

This is how it feels to fly so high

Too loo rye

This aint nothing cash could buy oh hi

Too loo rye

Tomorrow I could die

So i'm gonna climb the pines and have myself a time

Mother I dreamt I died last night.

See I was a lightbulb, left on a little too long and burned

Till I was dead with a hundred good ideas in my head

But I forgot 'em all and they tried to throw me away.

But hey when they grabbed a hold of me they all would burn their hands and see that

I was still quite hot with thought and so a little thought

They got that they should keep me as a kind of warmth you cant get from a stove or hearth.

So I sought and thought and fought but then cooled down and said

Oh hi

Too loo rye

To think I had a light inside when I try

Too loo rye

To remember what i wanted to find so sigh

Too loo rye

I thought that I had died

But I think tonight I've got it right,

I'm Stanley and the squirrel the invisible light,

I'm a lover liar, humble fire, im a little spider and a chicken on the wire

Climbin trying sighin cryin laughin highfivin slowly dyin

But I swear now thats alright, yeah I swear now thats alright, mother I'm alright
