[00:31.15]Well, once I was a stone, many years ago
[00:35.14]Into a pool was thrown, many years ago
[00:40.17]Time went by and the pool ran dry
[00:42.17]Excavated was I, and tempered and beat in the fiery heat
[00:45.25]By the hand of a man, whose name was Dan, Dan the blacksmith
[00:55.26]Well once I was a daisy, many years ago
[00:59.36]In pastures green and lazy, many years ago
[01:03.35]But I was et by a goat who fell in a moat
[01:05.36]And forgetting to float he sunk like a lead and stayed until dead
[01:09.32]And was relieved to find just how kind it all was
[01:18.49]Well, once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival
[01:23.43]And once I was a carp and lived in waters on the meadow
[01:27.55]And once I was a mynah bird, quoting verses from the Bible
[01:31.54]I said pretty boy, pretty boy, Saint Luke
[01:40.58](Guitar solo)
[02:29.83]Then I was born a human baby, many years ago
[02:34.82]I remember I was born unto a lady, many years ago
[02:37.85]All our hopes were piled on the back of a child
[02:39.81]Who turned out to be wild, sent the devil a prayer
[02:42.98]Caused the parson to swear so I took my leave
[02:45.97]To lie and thieve, on my way to jail
[02:53.02]Well, I've been a tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor
[02:55.93]Known good times and disaster
[02:58.02]But now I have a teacher and my teacher has a master
[03:02.01]And the master is perfection, so he'll help us get there faster
[03:06.19]Don't need no proof, 'cause that's the truth, and I'll drink to that!
