Well, once I was a stone, many years ago Into a pool was thrown, many years ago Time went by and the pool ran dry Excavated was I, and tempered and beat in the fiery heat By the hand of a man, whose name was Dan, Dan the blacksmith Well once I was a daisy, many years ago In pastures green and lazy, many years ago But I was et by a goat who fell in a moat And forgetting to float he sunk like a lead and stayed until dead And was relieved to find just how kind it all was Well once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival And once I was a carp and lived in waters on the meadow And once I was a mynah bird, quoting verses from the Bible I said "pretty boy, pretty boy, Saint Luke!" Then I was born a human baby, many years ago I remember I was born unto a lady, many years ago All our hopes were piled on the back of a child Who turned out to be wild, sent the devil a prayer And caused the parson to swear so I took my leave To lie and thieve, my way to jail Well, I've been a tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor Known good times and disaster But now I've found a teacher and the teacher has a master And the master is perfection, so he'll help us get there faster Don't need no proof, 'cause it's the truth, and I'll drink to that!
