Since I got your call
Think I’ve hardly slept at all
Waiting for your sweet
Funny-looking face
To look in at my door.
I’d been feeling down
Since your circus act left town
But now Spring is green
Bursting on the scene
It’s a hard one to ignore.
Only told one good friend of mine
He’s promised me his lips are sealed.
CHORUS
And the green leafy vegetables
Are singing in the field.
Singing in the field
Singing in the field.
It’s been quite a while
I’ve learned how to fake a smile
But I swear that I’ll
Never use that crocodile
Smile on you.
There’s good news and bad
But I wouldn’t want to make you sad
So let’s take a walk
Laughing as we talk
About people we knew.
Telling tall tales of shocking things
That time and circumstance revealed
CHORUS
Since you left, this old town’s altered
New friends have come and old friends bolted.
Half our favorite drinking spots
Have turned into souvenir shops
Where I walked these streets with you
Where I walked these streets with you.
Life does funny things,
Sometimes butterflies have stings
Sometimes great big snakes
Sing to sooth our aches
In a pleasing soprano.
We just have to dance
Away our existential angst
Sometimes cheek to cheek
Buddhist, Jew and Sikh,
Sometimes mano-á-mano.
Till the day when the laws of Man
And Nature all shall be repealed.
CHORUS
Since you left, this old town’s altered
Many times my feet have faltered
When I saw a house I used to know
Seen out shoots and start to grow
Where I walked these streets with you
Where I walked these streets with you.
Walked these streets with you
Walked these streets with you
Since I got your call
Think I’ve hardly slept at all.
We’re green leafy vegetables
Perched upon the edge
Of the Creator’s great
Gravy-sticky plate
Oh, he won’t eat us just yet.
Some of us may wilt
Like a moth-infested quilt
While we hold the line
Weather turned out fine
There’s no need to adjust it.
And the hand that we’ll play is not
The scabby hand that we were dealed.
CHORUS
