When I was a little boy, I had a skateboard
One day I skinned my knee, And it began to bleed
So I raced inside to see my mum, She said to me, "Now Johnny, don't
you be dumb"
"It will be O.K.", "Johnny, it will be O.K."
BUT
THERE WAS TROUBLE
IN PARADISE
I
SAW IT ON
THE NEWS
ALL
THE DOGS THEY
WERE TRANQUILLISED
THEY
HAD THE BLUES
NONE OF
THEM COULD GET
BONES
BIG
ENOUGH TO EAT
SO THEY
CRIED OUT
AND
COULDN'T GET TO
SLEEP
IN
THE MORNING LIGHT
IT
WILL BE ALL
RIGHT
DON’T
HOWL
When
I was twenty-one, My wife and I we had a son
And when my son was all of four, I gave him my skateboard
He grew into a big strong boy, You should have seen his joy
He had so much fun, Playing in the sun
BUT
THERE WAS TROUBLE IN PARADISE
I SAW
IT ON THE NEWS
ALL THE
CATS THEY WERE
TRANQUILLISED
THEY HAD THE
BLUES
NONE
OF THEM COULD
COME INSIDE
THEY
HAD TO WIPE
THEIR SHOES
AND
THEY HAD TO WASH
THEIR FEET
BEFORE
THEY COULD EAT
IN
THE MORNING LIGHT
IT
WILL BE ALL
RIGHT
SO NOW
DON’T MEOW
When my son turned
seventeen, He said to me, "I
have a dream"
He said, "I want to be number
one", I told him "Son, no
problem"
He became the biggest man, Ever to stand, in this old land
You call him, ‘Your President', I wonder if he forgets ?
When he
was a little boy, He had a skateboard
.....
One day he skinned his knee, And it began to bleed .....
So he raced inside to see his mum, She said to him, "Now Johnny, don't
you be dumb"
"It will be O.K.", "Johnny, it will be O.K."
BUT THERE
WAS TROUBLE IN
PARADISE
I SAW IT
ON THE NEWS
ALL
THE HUMANS THEY
WERE TRANQUILLISED
THEY
HAD THE BLUES
NONE
OF THEM COULD
SEE THE LIGHT
SHINING
OH SO BRIGHT
NOT
ONE OF THEM
BELIEVED
THAT
IT WOULD BE
ALL RIGHT
IN
THE MORNING LIGHT
SO NOW
SO
NOW DON’T GROWL…
SO
NOW DON’T GROWL…
IT WILL BE O.K.
