DI once met this old wise man
GHe invited me into his caravan
DWe sat down for a cup of tea
GHe sat down very gingerly
DHe said he's still got a sore back
GFrom the time, on the roof with JaDck
G
DWe were on the roof one day,
Gwhen suddenly I heard Jack say
Em"Look out for that craGck!?
EmPhewhack! I wasG lying on my Dback
DWhen I was just your age,
GI was already working
DFor a shilling a day
GIt was just enough for mom to say
EmOhhhh Johnny Gyou make me so Dproud!
D
Pa would Dcome home from work, and say
G"John, one day, Dyou'll work with me dGown at the factory."
EmBut I don't wanna Gwork in no factDory
EmSo I packed my bags and I Gheaded for the Dtree.
D
DI was only away from home for Gabout an hour
DBut i was home in time for Gtea
DI said very politely that GI didn't want to Dwork in no factGory.
Pa said John you're a Emsecond-class Gcitizen,
and you're Dnever gonna get verGy far
I said EmPa, I'm gonna see the world, GI'm gonna see it all
I'm gonna Embe all that I canG be, and Dmore.
D
Daddy Dfinished his cup of tea, Greached into his pocket, Dand pulled out a keGy
He said Dyou can have my old caravan,
I woGn't be needing it anEmy more G
Because IEm've see all I wanna Gsee, and Dmore.
