The Place
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.
There was cabbage and cognac
All over the place
He was holding out trying to build up
He's great invisible, invisible
Just passes through your house
There was cabbage and cognac
All over the place
And it was underdone cabbage
And overdone cognac
He got to the center
No place left to go
There was cabbage and cognac
All over the place
I got real brave
Now I'm invisible
You can't see me
And I'm pleased
Please consider this,
It's a real wild place
There was cabbage and cognac
All over the place
I got real brave
Now I'm invisible
