Wonderful World

Ever since Chicken Little said, the sky was fallin' down upon his head

I told myself, what a wonderful world

Climb a tree, headin' straight to the pond

Catch some polly wogs before they turn to frogs

I told myself, what a wonderful world

Puppy love out behind a log, before you know it it's a big old dog

Left so suddenly, where's that wonderful world?

Just a kid growin' up on a farm, hardly knew what was right from wrong

It's a jungle in this wonderful world

Ever since Johnny went to Nam, he lost his mind when he lost his arm

I convinced myself, it's an ugly old world

But see in school, I was just a kid, someone had to go and shoot the president

He wasn't sleeping when he's going to bed, so they said, so now he's dead

Didn't know much but I knew it wasn't funny

Everybody's crying like they killed the Easter bunny

Nothing changes, never changes, killing in vain

Tell me what it's coming to, tell me what we're all gonna do

If it stays like this we'll have nothing left to lose

Saw a picture and it ain't so pretty, from the West Coast to New York City

I've seen the world, it's such a pity, we'll be here on our own

Ever since Chicken Little said, "Humpty Dumpty fell and broke his head"

I told myself, what a wonderful world

Ever since mom she revealed, the tooth fairy nor Santa Clause is real

May be so, mama, it's still a wonderful world

That may be so, mama, still it's a wonderful world
