Old Man Kensey

Old man Kensey wants to be a sign painter

First he's got to learn to read

He's gonna be a clown on TV

Flexes his elbow taut and free

(That's my folly) I believe

Drink up the lake, Kensey's awake

(If that's my folly) that's my mistake

Old man Kensey wants to be a goalie

First he's got to learn to count

He's gonna be a clown on a circus mount

Letters to be signed and dropped off

(That's my folly) Kensey's going far

John, Bill and Ed, stand on your head

(If that's my folly) I'm ready to go

Old man Kensey wants to be a dog catcher

First he's got to learn to stand

He's gonna be a clown in a marching band

Letters to be signed, ransom, greed

(If that's my folly) I believe

Drink up the lake, John, Bill and Ed

(If that's my folly) that's my mistake

Kensey's awake, stand on your head

(If that's my folly) I'm ready to go

Drink up the lake, stand on your head

(If that's my folly) I'm ready to go
