Waiting for Nature Boy After falling out of bed Pressed his sentimental leaf Look him up hand to mouth Let me tell you about Nature Boy And the man with the double chin Now you be serious Or I'll lock you down in the cellar with him Pulled a gun on Nature Boy Bet the planet don't spin Piled up a door, a tree limb, a bag of cans, a bean bag On tour with Nature Boy Barking like a clown Oiled and smiling Light brown and ivory Refrain: That day I kind of grew Gills and fins I said, "The race that's through Is the one I'm in" Refrain2: You looked at Nature Boy Passed out in my arms I thought everybody knew Let me tell you about Nature Boy And the man with the double chin Lost as a baby to wolves Then through effort, frustration Here comes Nature Boy Would you look at him Raised by wolves Now he's in the Senate, President! Let me show you courage, friend Barking like a clown When the moon, the clouds, the sea, the animals, even the rocks Looking at Nature Boy Standing in the setting sun Looking at Nature Boy Standing like a mannequin Refrain Refrain2 The sign said "Nature Boy Five miles ahead' Tall and strong Alert to changing needs Growing, changing Growing fur, wings, a horn, sharp and dangerous gills, And a third eye Does not sleep as we know it Long tongue, never fully concealed hooves A scaly tail and back And a pouch of mystery, which moves This is the story of Nature Boy And the man with the double chin (3x)
