The Seeing Blind Man and His Whispering Dog
There's a blind man on the corner
That keeps staring at me
As the dog that's sitting by his side
Keeps whispering in his ear
I know their talking about me
Cause the blind man keeps nodding his head
I'm not paranoid or anything
At least I don't think that I am
I keep straining hard to listen
But to many words do I miss
At this very moment
I wish I could read dog lips
As if this couldn't get any stranger
A bus pulls up to the curb
Out steps Wayne Newton
And before he utters a word
He pulls a cat out of his bag
With a sharp chill on the wind
The cat and the dog both hug
They appear to be the best of friends
As if this is not strange enough
The blind man drops the leash
The cat picks it up
As he and the dog skip off down the street
Where they're picked up for jay walking by the Chief of Police
Wayne Newton gave a concert
With the money we paid their bail
When it came time for their release
They were no longer in jail
All there was was a tunnel
With a blank note left behind
Cause everybody knows
Cats and dogs can't write
Last that I heard
They had a Villa in the South of France
Where they took in blind mice
And taught them all how to dance
Which started a new dance craze called
The "Blind Mice Dance Like They Got Ants In Their Pants" Dance
I swear this all really happened!
If you don't believe me you can ask my Armadillo,
but listen closely...cause he's a whisperer too.
