Skinny Man

(album: The Age Of Aquarius - 1969)

Hey and around and around he goes
Hey and around and around he goes
Hey and around and around he goes
Hey and around and around he goes

There was a skinny man who lived on a hill
Hey and around and around
And if I'm not mistaken, he lives there still
Hey and around and around

He's got a carrot catcher
And roof top thatched
Don't go to school or work like a fool
Because he knows it's too hard

He gets up in the morning
And walks through the green
Hey and around and around
He knows all places where you've never been
Hey and around and around

Can't understand why he feels that way
'Cause I've felt that way too
I like to walk in the woods all day
When nothing else could do

Hey and around and around he goes
Look at what he's found
As the leaves run through his toes
Hey and around and around

The skinny man who lives on the hill
Hey and around and around
He lives all alone and does what he will
Hey and around and around

There is no one to tell him what
Or how or why or where
He all the time complaining now
For the girl who isn't there

Hey and around and around he goes
Look at what he's found
As the leaves run through his toes
Hey and around and around

Hey and around and around he goes
Hey and around and around he goes
Hey and around and around he goes
Hey and around and around he goes

Hey and around and around he goes
Hey and around and around he goes
Hey and around and around he goes
Hey and around and around he goes
