(w/ rhythm 1)

Catch a shooting star and put it in your pocket

And your pants will start on fire

One bird in the hen or two birds in the bush

Neither do you any good when you're stuck in the quagmire

F E D C B A (rhythm 1)

Show everyone you're not sure that they're telling the truth

F(low) C F A# G

Then you can be known as a universal cynic too

(w/ rhythm 1)

Benefit your fellow man with good deeds for the day

And you'll serve your life away

Penny saved today, a penny still tomorrow

Strewn upon the desk, piled up in a paper weight

F E D C B A (rhythm 1)

Show everyone you're not sure that they're telling the truth

F(low) C D# A# G

Then you can be known as a universal cynic too

F C D# A#

Wipe your opaque eyes and restore your crystal vision

F C D# A#

Turn another cheek and exalt in your decision

F G D# C G F

A bit of excercise for the universal cynic in you

(w/ rhythm 1)

Early to bed and early to rise

Precludes you from seeing the most brilliant starry nights

Sticks and stones can break bones, words can't really hurt

Unless you carry guns and are hungry for a fight

Challenging the standards and questioning the established rules

Trying to understand how they can benefit you

Show everyone you're not sure that they're telling the truth

Then you can be known as a universal cynic too

The universal cynic is you
