cry, child try to be bigger than me you'll see just how fast it all comes around you'll never be much daddy holds my head while i sleep sing me songs that his father once penned for him you'll never be much you'll never be anything into the open air into your smiling mug into the open air to prove you're the top out of the fierce parade and into your smiling mug into the open air to prove you're the top some days you don't want to get out of bed so you don't and everyone gets ahead in the world you'll never be much some days the only thought that consoles your tired head at the close of another dull days is you'll never be much you'll never be anything (some people spend their whole lives saying 'come out and play with me, come out and stay with me, come out and play' and then they run away they'll never be much and if you wait your whole life for somebody to say to you 'come out and play with me, come out and stay' and then you run away you'll never be much you'll never be anything)
