My brother's a machinist and he works at the mill
|
And he makes more money than you ever will
|
He just got married to a Polish girl
|
With a space between her teeth
|
When he was ten or eleven years old
|
He was helping out my Pop in the barbershop
|
Sweeping up the hair as it would drop
|
On to the boardwalk and out of the shop
|
|
Doctor, doctor, what you say?
|
How 'bout lettin' him out today?
|
I can promise you he'll be OK
|
There ain't no reason for him to stay
|
|
Get him back on his feet again
|
Back on his feet again
|
Open the door and set him free
|
Get him back on his feet again
|
|
One day he was workin' in the barbershop
|
Knocked over some bottles with the handle of his broom
|
And he cried
|
Daddy took him to a baseball game, and still he cried
|
Daddy took him to the zoo, and still he cried
|
Daddy said, "Son, I ain't angry,
|
But I'm so disappointed in you."
|
|
Get him back on his feet again
|
Back on his feet again
|
Open the door and set him free
|
Get him back on his feet again
|
