Crying out loud said a face in the crowd Can you hear me talkin' The river was dry that was why I'm on the road and walking A man on a horse with a box on his head He was sayin' to the Nation He pay him dues the goodbye blues Is simple syncopation And then I told my story to the cannibal king Said Shake That Thing Go and see the frogman and tell him All your troubles Take your umbrella cause he Keeps on blowing bubbles Come up and let me analyse you Said the monkey to the weasel And I'll paint your picture on the wall If you can buy the easel And I told my story to the cannibal king Said baby baby shake that thing Once upon a sunshine Before the final bell I told my story to big boy With connections straight from Hell His fiddle was his sweetheart He was her favourite beau And hear me saying was all he playing Them songs from long ago I told my story to the cannibal king Said baby baby shake that thing Too late too late Can be the cry So take it if you need it Theres no such thing as a dirty book Its just the way you read it So goodbye baby I'll see you soon Its gotta be that way So bury me not on the lone prairie Coma Tiyi Yipee Yi A Coma Tiyi Yipee Yi A
