lirik lagu san cisco - john's song
[intro]
i once met this old wise man
he invited me into his caravan
we sat down for a cup of tea
he sat down very gingerly
he said he’s still got a sore back
from the time on the roof with jack
[verse 2]
“we were on the roof one day
when suddenly i heard jack say
‘look out for that crack!’
phewhack!
i was lying on my back.”
[verse 3]
when i was just your age, i was already working
for a shilling a day
it was just enough to make ma say
“oh, johnny you make me so proud!”
[verse 4]
pa would come home from work
and say, “john, one day, you’ll work with me down at the factory.”
but i don’t want to work in no factory
so i packed my bags and i headed for the trees
[verse 5]
i was only away from home for about an hour
but i was home in time for tea
and i said very politely that i didn’t want to work in no factory
[verse 6]
and pa said, “john you’re a second-cl-ss citizen
you’re never gonna get very far.”
i said, “pa, i’m gonna see the world, i’m gonna see it all
i’m gonna be all that i could be, and more.”
[outro]
with that he finished his cup of tea
reached into his pocket and pulled out a key
he said, “you can have my old caravan, i won’t be needing it anymore
because i’ve see all i wanna see, and more.”
