Great Time To Be Human

(What a great time to be human) There once was a boy who lost his own mother Loved him to death and smothered his brother The kids in the street all shouted with joy New shoes on their feet, they danced to destroy The boy became man, then ran to his lover She cast a spell to bring back his mother They went to the preacher and he banged a gong The crooks and believers all sing the same song Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human (What a great time to be human) There once was a girl who drank from the fountain She left her youth halfway up the mountain She went back to get it, but someone was there They had her committed and shaved off her hair They threw her a party with diamonds and spoons But they were bloodsuckers with crocodile shoes She went to the chemist to make her a dog But he was dyslexic, so he made a God (God, God, God) Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this?
