The Lunatics Are In the Park
THE LUNATICS ARE IN THE PARK
A full moon and, the lunatics are collecting in the park
The oldies have seen all before; the kids think it a lark
The lunatics are eating the grass, the kids, smoking it
There is some kind of strange guy; carrying, a tool kit
Those who live local, blinds down, all the doors locked
Weird days; but a full moon, should never be mocked
Cats are wailing, dogs howling, Grannie’s, looking pale
Nothing new there; she’s, had to much of the pale ale
A bald guy up on the 7th floor; has binoculars in hand
He wants to see: the naked ladies dancing in the sand
Coppers with any sense, are in: booking their days off
All wanting to avoid: with anything from a minor cough
City council up at crack of dawn to clear up the remains
And all the remaining lunatics: are put on the 1st trains
As for days after others reading and watching the news
A tramp in the park that disappeared; all, but his shoes
The local priest pops in to do his monthly park exorcize
Others stand in amusement, dog's doing their exercise
The full moon lunatics are all back at home in their beds
Having no recollection of it all are so in the land of Zed’s
