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

Flags at his elbow, time to breathe

That's my folly, I believe

Drink up the lake Kensey's awake

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 in sopped-up tar

Kensey's going far

John, Bill and Ed, stand on your head

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

That's my folly, I believe

Drink up the lake, John, Bill and Ed,

That's my folly, that's my mistake

Kensey's awake, stand on your head

That's my folly, I'm ready to go
