Ramblin' On

A Local Picture House

Was Showing a Batman Movie

You See This Guy Fly Up in the Sky

Thought to Myself, "Why Shouldn't I?"

Bought a Pair of Wings

Went Upon the Wall

Was About to Jump Into the Air

When a Voice From the Street Called and Said

"Hey Wait a Minute!

Don't You Realize the Danger?

What Do You Think You Are

Some Kind of Angel?"

I Considered For a Minute

Thought "He Only Speaks the Truth"

For the Barbells On My Eyelids

Only Emphasized My Youth

And the Sawdust in My Blimsoles (?)

Means the Same to Him As Me

But That's Neither Here Nor Further

So I Spoke Considerately

"If You Understand

Just What I'm Trying to Say,

Whatever You Do, Don't Grin,

You'll Give the Game Away!"

By Now a Crowd Had Gathered

And It Seemed That All Was Lost

In the Anger of the Moment

I Had Diced With Death and Lost

It Seemed to Me the Time Was Right

So I Burst Into Song

In the Anger of the Moment

The Crowd Began to Sing Along

I Could Not See a Way Out of This Predicament

Just Then a Breeze

Cruised Through the Trees

And Up in the Air I Went

I Must Have Flown a Mile

Or Maybe It Was Eight

Thought to Myself Pretty Soon

I'd Hit the Golden Gate

Just Then a Passing Bird

For no Reason I Could See

Took a Peck At My Wings

And That Was the End of Me

I Went Down, Hit the Ground

Faster Than the Speed of Sound

Luckily I Broke no Bones

Only Tore My Underclothes
