I got a school boy heart, a novelist eye
stout sailor's legs and a license to fly
i came with nomad feet and some wandering toes
that walk up my longboard and hang off the nose
I suppose the need to focus never arose
so something like a swiss army knife, that's my life
frankenstein had nothing on this body of mine
the villagers still flockin' to see, to see me
breakin' free, breakin' free
"cause i got a school boy heart, novelist eye
stout sailor's legs and a license to fly
i got a bartender ear and a beachcomber style
piratical nerve and a vaudevillian style
I-yi-yi-yi-yi, i-yi-yi-yi-yi
I suspect i died in some cosmic shipwreck
with all hands spread all over the deck,--what the heck.
then some kind of unseen and unscrupulous mind
began to pick up what he could find, added ice
shook me twice, rolled the dice
Now i got a school boy heart, a novelist eye
stout sailor's legs and a license to fly
i got a native tongue from way down south
it sits in the cheek of my gulf coastal mouth
I got a school boy heart, a novelist eye
stout sailor's legs and a license to fly
i came with nomad feet and some wandering toes
that glide up my longboard and hang off the nose
I-yi-yi-yi-yi, i-yi-yi-yi-yi,........
