Brain Washing

Ooh-ooh

Old mr. joe, he build a house away

On top of some hill

Old mr. joe knew he had to go, so he

He got right down and wrote bank will

He say now, here's to mother hen

And her chicken, lord have mercy now

Master, will you take a roll in the mud

Like you know you should?

The old barnyard, the old barnyard

Birds and the chick, ooh-wee

Who's got to watch out for brother mongoose

With his top hap and walking-stick?

It's just the poor's brain washing

(poor's ...) they told me a long time ago,

It's just the poor's brain washing, ooh-wee

(poor's brain washing) now look at a thing like this

Cinderella and her long lost fellow

In the midnight hour, she lost her silver slipper

Humpty dumpty sat on a wall

While jack and jill had themselves a fall

It's just the poor's (... brain washing)

And i don't need it no longer (... washing)

It's just the poor's brain washing

Coming through to a poor man's child, ooh-wee, look at this

Little miss muffet she sat on a tuffet

While little red riding hood delivered her grandmom's food

Ooh-wee ooh-wee

Ooh-wee, look at one more thing like this

The cow jumping over the moon

While the dish got jealous, he grabbed the handy spoon

It's just the poor's brain washing

And i don't need it no longer, i don't want it no longer

I don't need it no longer (...washing)

And i don't care for no more brain washing (... washing) ...
