Lyrics

Walked up to the park It wasn't quite dark There was a man sitting on a bench Out of the clouds And his head lowly bent He just moaned and it made no sense And he'd just go Um, um, um, um, um Um, um, um, um, um, um Um, um, um, um, um Um, um, um, um, um, um I just couldn't help myself I was born with the jerriest mind I asked this man Just what did he mean When he wanted to be so kind And he'd just go Um, um, um, um, um Um, um, um, um, um, um Um, um, um, um, um Um, um, um, um, um, um Now that I got up And the woman I love she is gone Now that I'm a man I think I understand Just why everyone's singing this song So listen to me now Um, um, um, um, um Um, um, um, um, um, um Um, um, um, um, um Um, um, um, um, um, um Come on now Um, um, um, um, um Um, um, um, um, um, um Everybody Um, um, um, um, um Um, um, um, um, um, um
