THE LOGICAL SONG
CHOOSE the correct answer then watch the video and check
When I was young it seemed that life was sowonderfulwonderfully
A miracle, oh! It was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the tree, well they’d be singing sohappilyhappy
Joyfully, playfully, watching me
But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensiblysensible
Logical, responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependabledependably
Clinical, intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world’s asleep
The questions run so deep for such a simplesimply man
Won’t you please, please tell me what we’ve learned
I know it sounds absurd. Please tell me who I am
Now watch what you say or they’ll be calling you a radicallyradical
Liberal, fanatical, criminal
Won’t you sign up your name we’d like to feel you’re acceptablyacceptable
Respectable, presentable, a vegetable.
