Ooh-ooh
|
Old Mr. Joe, he build a house away
|
On top of some hill
|
Old Mr. Joe knew he had to go, so he
|
He got right down and wrote bank will
|
He say now, here's to mother hen
|
And her chicken, Lord have mercy now
|
Master, will you take a roll in the mud
|
Like you know you should?
|
The old barnyard, the old barnyard
|
Birds and the chick, ooh-wee
|
Who's got to watch out for brother mongoose
|
With his top hap and walking-stick?
|
|
It's just the poor's brain washing
|
(Poor's...) They told me a long time ago,
|
It's just the poor's brain washing, ooh-wee
|
(Poor's brain washing) Now look at a thing like this
|
|
Cinderella and her long lost fellow
|
In the midnight hour, she lost her silver slipper
|
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
|
While Jack and Jill had themselves a fall
|
|
It's just the poor's (... brain washing)
|
And I don't need it no longer (... washing)
|
It's just the poor's brain washing
|
Coming through to a poor man's child, ooh-wee, look at this
|
|
Little Miss Muffet she sat on a tuffet
|
While Little Red Riding Hood delivered her grandmom's food
|
Ooh-wee ooh-wee
|
Ooh-wee, look at one more thing like this
|
The cow jumping over the moon
|
While the dish got jealous, he grabbed the handy spoon
|
|
It's just the poor's brain washing
|
And I don't need it no longer, I don't want it no longer
|
I don't need it no longer (...washing)
|
And I don't care for no more brain washing (... washing)...
