I am windy the great I am
Windy the great I am, I am
to be buried in the toilet next door
I got out and gassed every nose next door
And everyone was a Cindy (Cindy)
They never brought home a Billy or a ham (or a ham)
From their neighbor’s can I am Windy
Windy the great I am I am
Second verse same as the first.
I am windy the great I am
Windy the great I am, I am
I got buried in the toilet next door
I got out and gassed every nose next door
And everyone was a Cindy (Cindy)
They never brought home a Billy or a ham (or a ham)
From their neighbor’s can I am Windy
Windy the great I am I am
(shouts)
(guitar solo)
I am windy the great I am
Windy the great I am, I am
I got buried in the toilet next door
I got out and gassed every nose next door
And everyone was a Cindy (Cindy)
They never brought home a Billy or a ham (or a ham)
From their neighbor’s can I am Windy
Windy the great I am I am
W I N D Y
Windy (Windy) Windy (Windy)
Windy the Great I am I am
Windy the Great I am!
I’m Henry the Eighth I am
Henry the Eighth I am I am!
I remember singing this
At the top of my lungs
at church camp when I was twelve
Thank you Herman’s Hermits
My camp mate, Clarisse had introduced me
To Peter Noone, and the other Hermits.
Herman’s Hermits they called themselves
I had no idea how I survived without
knowing about them
When I hear “Tell me Baby,
Mrs. Brown you have a lovely daughter,
Dream on,” and “Listen people”
I begin to drive a bit faster,
Turning back into the teenager I used to be.
I’m Henry the Eighth I am,
Henry the Eighth, I am, I am…..
Singing this immediately changes me
back into a preteenager, and makes me smile.
