Old Wacko

Old Wacko tell the children in a past life that he see
The son of God called Jesus walk the waves of Galilee
And that he was there to witness what seemed an unequal fight
When the much smaller chap named David slew the towering giant Goliath.

Old Wacko saw Michelangelo painting pictures in the sky
And around the clouds of heaven he could see winged angels fly
And he was there when Adam handed the apple to Eve
And the wide eyed children listen and his stories they believe.

The parents tell their children from old Wacko keep away
That fellow comes from cuckoo land such silly things he say
And whilst some pay heed to mum and dad and their wishes obey
The others beg old Wacko for more stories every day.

He tells of how Delilah took Samson's strength by cutting off his hair
And when Moses the commandments wrote old Wacko he was there
And he witnessed the death of Joan of Arc back when he was twenty four
And the wide eyed children listen and they beg of him for more.

When the parents tell their children from old Wacko keep away
Some of them with reluctance their mum and dad obey
Whilst the others risk parental discipline by talking to Wacko
And beg of him more stories from the distant long ago.
