I hear, only what I want to hear
|
But, I have to believe in something
|
Have to believe in just one thing
|
I said Father Washington, you're all mixed up
|
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup
|
Well, spare a listen for a restless fool
|
There's something missing when I need your rules
|
|
Well hey there, You tell me you're a holy man
|
But, although I'm just a beginner
|
I don't see you as a winner
|
I said, Sister Robinson, you're all washed up
|
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup
|
If I could tell you what you need to know
|
If I could help you to get on with the show
|
|
Reverend Ebenezer, there's a storm in my head
|
Makes me hear what you said, just was it true?
|
So, what have I to do?
|
Well, what has he to do?
|
Oh, what is there to do?
|
Oh, oh, oh, oh
|
|
Mary, oh tell me what I'm living for
|
'Cause I feel like I'm tossed in the river
|
Have you a son to deliver
|
I said, Father Washington, you're all mixed up
|
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup
|
You tell the children what they need to know
|
But will they listen when it's time to go
|
|
Oh, Sister Robinson, you're all wound up
|
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup
|
Can someone tell me what I need to know
|
Can someone help me to get on with the show
|
