The Cherry Tops - Pip, the Kid, and the Musicman Lyrics

When I was a boy, using my hands for toys
And my mind to guide me through battle and breaks
Now, I sing as I wake, to feel peace forever
For having said what I would've bled
I remember when I first heard the funk and clamor
Make its way through the spotted night
Leaving me in my heart and out of my mind
So, this is how the living starts
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sailing in a corn husk through the air all alone and bare
Till paisans singing songs
In a line, climbed on to share the good word of the Musicman
Who soars through the sea in a tunic'd gas cap
Taste the music and feel the colours
Arm in arm with your brothers
Partake from the love all around
And join the joyful crowd
Stand in line to hear the Musicman
On course, in the hot breeze, the cold melt swells, and swirls
As the Man's music unfurls
Leaving the sounds to bounce off cookie cutout clouds
Only to be lost in a sneeze
On the horizon's gleam, He's
Fingering the piano's teeth and saxophones' keys
Till the notes float, through airy motes
Paving the way to grace
Absorbing the intangible, fanciful noise poised for grandiose prose
To all girls and boys, for the Musicman knows
To be possessed like a medium one
Must love for the work to be done
Taste the music and feel the colours
Arm in arm with your brothers
Partake from the love all around
And join the joyful crowd
Taste the music and feel the colours
Arm in arm with your brothers
Partake from the love all around
And join the joyful crowd
Stand in line to hear the Musicman
Stand in line to hear the Musicman
Stand in line to hear the Musicman
Stand in line to hear the Musicman
Stand in line to hear the Musicman
Stand in line to hear the Musicman
Stand in line to hear the Musicman
