This Silly Old Canadian Dude

Silly old duffer, this Canadian dude His name is Happy Jack Ellison Those guys in white coats try real hard To keep him sedated and bedridden Wouldn't dare let him let 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 really 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 82, people think he's over-the-hill Hopefully, he's been given an extension
