1941 Lyrics

Well in nineteen-forty-one
A happy father had a son
And by nineteen-forty-four
The father walked right out the door
And in forty-five
The mom and son were still alive
But who could tell in forty-six
If the two were to survive
Well the years were passing quickly
But not fast enough for him
So he closed his eyes till fifty-five
And he opened them up again
When he looked around he saw a clown
And the clown seemed very gay
And he set that night to join
That circus clown and run away

Yoh-dod-dle-doh-da-dat-un-dee-dee (Scat Solo)

Well he followed every railroad track
And every highway sign
And he had a girl in each new town
And the towns he left behindJoel Grey - 1941 - http://motolyrics.com/joel-grey/1941-lyrics.html
And the open road
Was the only road he knew
But the colour of his dreams
Slowly turned into blue
Then he met a girl
The kind of girl he wanted all his life
She was soft and kind and good to him
So he took her for a wife
And they got a house not far from town
And in a little while
The girl had seen the doctor
And she came home with a smile

Now in nineteen-sixty-one
A happy father had a son
And by nineteen-sixty-four
The father walked right out the door
And in sixty-five
The mom and son were still around
But what will happen to the boy
When the circus comes to town

Ba-dom-ba-da-da..... (Scat Solo........FADE)
