Sprout and the Bean

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I slept all day I woke with distaste And I railed And I raved That the difference between The sprout and the bean It is a golden ring It is a twisted string And you can ask the counselor; You can ask the king; And they'll say the same thing; And it's a funny thing: Should we go outside? Should we go outside? Should we break some bread? Are y'interested? And as I said I slept as though dead Dreaming seamless dreams of lead When you go away I am big-boned and fey In the dust of the day And in the dirt of the day And the danger! Danger! Drawing near them was a white coat And the danger! Danger! Drawing near them was a broad boat And the water! Water! Running clear beneath a white throat And the hollow chatter of the talking of the tadpoles Who know th'outside! Should we go outside? Should we break some bread? Are y'interested?
