| Song Lyrics: |
Verse 1:
There once was a swimmer who ranked with the best.
He could do the most difficult dives.
Four somersaults were too easy a test,
So one day he tried to do five.
As he jumped off the platform, something went wrong.
His timing just got out of whack.
When he met with the water before very long,
The poor guy landed flat on his back!
Chorus:
Some people think that it's funny and they grin,
When someone gets hurt doing flips.
Some people think he'll try it again.
Some people think chickens have lips.
Verse 2:
An astronaut has to be brave, as you know,
And faithful, and fearless, and fit.
Intelligence is a quality that must certainly show,
Or an astronaut might as well quit.
One brave explorer who stood on the moon
Tried to check out the atmosphere there.
When he took off his helmet, he noticed too soon
A definite shortage of air!
Chorus:
Some people think that it's funny and they grin,
Cause this puts an end to his trips.
Some people think he'll try it again.
Some people think chickens have lips.
Verse 3:
I was sitting at home eating breakfast one day.
My radio was tuned to the news.
I heard the reporter excitedly say,
"Go look at the sun, don't refuse!"
I ran to the closet to get my telescope,
And pointed it straight at the sun,
But the rays burned my eyes far beyond hope,
And this put an end to my fun.
Chorus:
Some people think that it's funny and they grin,
When you're blinded by a solar eclipse.
Some people think I'll try it again.
Some people think chickens have lips.
Some people are shocked, and truly aghast
When they hear a song written by freaks.
Some people think this song is our last.
Some chickens think people have beaks. (tenorlove) |
