Once upon a time there was a man that lived by the sea
He had one son and two daughters and had no knee
If you daw how big his house was you would say how
If you saw how big his land was you would say wow

He says he collects birds, but all he has are pigeons
He always sits in his rocking chair in the front porch
And you will be startled when he lights the candle with a torch
From seven-thirty in the morning to nine-thirty at night people come to visit him

All of a sudden his kids are gone
The thoughts of his kids are still in his head
For the thoughts of his kids are almost dead
For he is old and is almost dead

For now all he does is look at his clock
Now he can't wait until two o'clock
For that is when his son takes him for a walk
It is to the villiage for a walk
