Silly Old Duffer

Silly old duffer, this Canadian dude His name is Jester Jack Ellison Those guys in white coats try real hard To keep him sedated and bedridden Don't dare let him loose in public For fear he might cause some harm To ordinary people walking the streets Making farting sounds under his arm That's not as bad as pulling their hair Or sticking his finger up their nose Maybe annoying but harmless I guess It's really not too bad I suppose But when he sneaks up behind you And yanks off your brand new hair piece That's when we finally draw the line Call the fuzz to get him to cease Silly old duffer, he means no harm Just wants some love and attention At 87, people think he's over-the-hill But he's been given a long extension
