★ narrator ★
Helen Keller was born a healthy child
In Tuscumbia, Alabama on June 27, 1880
At the age of nineteen months
Helen became Deaf and blind
As the result of an unknown illness
Possibly rubella or scarlet fever
★ Helen Keller ★
It’s not blindness or deafness
That bring me my darkest hours
It’s not blindness or deafness
That bring me my darkest hours
★ Verse ★
She was born a healthy child
With a manner that was mild
Helen Keller, Helen Keller
Thеn some Oregon Trail diseasе
Brought her eyesight to its knees
Helen Keller, Hellen Keller
★ Chorus ★
And then she met Anne Sullivan
She started making letters into her hand
She said, “Groove on, Helen Keller, groove on!”
You’re Kellin’ it, Helen
You’re one hell of a Keller
★ Verse ★
She was Deaf, dumb and blind
But Harvard didn’t mind
Helen Keller, Helen Keller
She was blind, Deaf and mute
Started her own institute
Helen Keller (international), Helen Keller (international)
★ Chorus ★
And then she met Grover Cleveland
He signed some letters into her hand
He said, “Groove on, Helen Keller, groove on!”
You’re Kellin’ it, Helen
You’re one hell of a Keller
★ Helen Keller ★
Dog, water, earth
Drink, dog, water
★ narrator ★
After a long life of service
Helen Keller passed on
Her ashes were buried
Next to those of her companion
Anne Sullivan
Her spirit will endure
★ Chorus ★
And at the gates of heaven
Saint Peter made some letters into her hand
He said, “Groove on, Helen Keller, groove on!”
You’re Kellin’ it, Helen
You can see and hear in heaven
