Old Man Kensey Lyrics

    Old Man Kensey wants to be a sign painter

    First he’s got to learn to read
    He’s gonna be a clown on TV
    Flexes his elbow taunt and free
    That’s my folly, I believe
    Drink up the lake Kensey’s awake
    That’s my folly, that’s my mistake

    Old Man Kensey wants to be a goalie
    First he’s got to learn to count
    He’s gonna be a clown on a circus mount
    Letters to be signed and dropped off
    Kensey’s going far
    John, Bill and Ed, stand on your head
    That’s my folly, I’m ready to go

    Old Man Kensey wants to be a dog catcher
    First he’s got to learn to stand
    He’s gonna be a clown in a marching band
    Letters to be signed ransom greed
    That’s my folly, I believe
    Drink up the lake, John, Bill and Ed,
    That’s my folly, that’s my mistake
    Kensey’s awake, stand on your head
    That’s my folly, I’m ready to go
