The Henrys - Cotton

When I was a young boy
I used to play a little game
I was always doing something
Just to pass the time away
Teacher always told me
Quit staring out the window
You better pay attention
Here's what's on my mind

It goes over again
It goes inside my head

Get back in line
Better listen to the teacher
My mind was always somewhere
Where it really shouldn't be
You need to be a big boy
And do what you are told
I really didn't listen
And it never leaves my mind

It goes over again
It goes inside my head
It goes over, and over, and over again
These are the words that old Stymie said

I wish Cotton was a monkey
Because he's sure enough funky

When I was a young boy
I used to play a little game
I was always doing something
Just to pass the time away
Teacher always told me
Quit staring out the window
You better pay attention
And it never my mind

It goes over again
It goes inside my head
It goes over, and over, and over again
These are the words that old Stymie said

I wish Cotton was a monkey
Because he's sure enough funky
