lyrics

I loved to get up early
when my hair was short and curly
and I had a look of springtime in my eyes

I was cocky as a jaybird
though my ways were seldom wayward
and I went around a looking for surprise

I have had one though not wanted
in a carcass that is gaunted
and a walk that must be aided by a cane

If you hear a sound of tapping
why it's me as I go rapping
in the night time for a pill to ease my pain
