You can't do anything right they call you good for nothin'

You can't read or write and you can't count up to ten

You run around blind but your feet run around in circles

You're heads in the clouds but your havin' yourself a time



I want to be like you

I want to be like you

Just a natural fool, under the harvest moon

Just a crazy old fool, under the harvest moon

That's alright.....that's alright



You don't give a damn about the latest style or fashion

Your hair's too long and your feet don't fit in your shoes

You're not too smooth but I know that you must know something

There's a look in your eye when you hear those rhythm and blues



I want to be like you

I want to be like you

Just a natural fool, under the harvest moon

Just a crazy old fool, under the harvest moon

That's alright.....that's alright



You're much too wide and you're way too fat for comfort

You drink too much and you smoke like an ol' steam train

You're a barrel of fun and the girls all think you're crazy

Just a dancing fool singin' in the morning rain



I want to be like you

I want to be like you

Just a natural fool, under the harvest moon

Just a crazy old fool, under the harvest moon

That's alright.....that's alright
