The Tallest Man I Ever Knew

(专辑： Toon Town Lullaby - 2020)

Walking down the avenue to shoot the evening breeze
Drink and dance and laugh and charm the birds right from the trees
Ooh Ooh Ooh
The tallest man I ever knew

For all the bores and fops and foolish
He really didn't care
And if they spoke a little French
All the way up there
Ooh Ooh Ooh
The tallest man I ever knew

There were twenty thousand fluttering hearts
Broken night and day
He didn't care where he was going
But he was on his way

Begin at the beginning
Head right for the top
And when you reach the end
You'd better stop
Ooh Ooh Ooh
The tallest man I ever knew

Another of the finest messes, throw your hands up in the air
'Cause if you don't know where you're going
Any road will get you there
Ooh Ooh Ooh
The tallest man I ever knew

You got some holes in those rainbow pockets
From marching with the band
Who say they love mankind
It's just people they can't stand

And so we cross our little bridges
Set our little spirits free
With nothing much to show
Except "You got the smokes, Marie?"
Ooh Ooh Ooh
The tallest man I ever knew

We used to think out loud about
How of a waxwing slain
Well, I'm still tilting at those windmills
And shouting at the rain
