A Story About People

I say a little prayer

Like the crazy Maria

when she sings people start swinging

When she speaks people start smiling

So I say a little prayer

Down the road there's an empty house

It looks so spooky even during mid-day

People come to look and see

But no one has the guts to get in

I wonder why people walk the way they walk

I wonder why people talk the way they talk

World is one heck of a place

Where one man acts foolishly

and another man turns ugly

I sing a simple song

Like the one in the famous play

When they clap the actor starts bowing

When they stand the actor starts running

So I sing a simple song

Two blocks from a coffee shop

There is an old man crossing the street

He moves so slowly with his stiffy joint

No one seems to care since they are busy anyway

People are funny just the way they are

People seem to care more when they are judged by others

World is a funny place that a man could live in

Where one man falls down

and another man claps his hands

A story about people is hillarious

People have no right to throw stone and thing

But since throwing is easier than picking

Many people just love to do so
