I was walkin’ down the street when I
Saw a man standin’ eight feet tall
With eyes that stood out like thumbs
His coat was full of lifeless things
He walked like Treebeard from Lord of the Rings
And he had no use for weapons of any kind
Don’t be a fool and forget your name
Don’t be a tool and forget your money
Leave your sabertooth tiger at home
And don’t put things where they don’t belong
I was walkin’ down the street when
I saw a man in uniform
And he gave people fake things in real life
He lived inside a can of beer
And in many, many, many years
He would build a bridge without lifting a finger
Don’t be a fool and arrest a king
Or lose something precious like a diamond ring
Remember your place when you do something wrong
And don’t put things where they don’t belong
{I was walkin’ down the street and I saw this man
Who was walkin’ kinda funny and talkin’ kinda funny too
And he played this guitar solo that sounded something like this}
Don’t be a fool, the times are a-changin’
They’re moving around and rearrangin’
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue
But don’t let that kinda thing bother you
Don’t be a fool and forget your name
Don’t be a tool and forget your money
Leave your sabertooth tiger at home
And don’t put things where they don’t belong
Don’t put things where they don’t belong
Don’t put things where they don’t belong
