joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they (3)________ me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And (4)________ showed me a world where I (5)__________ be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a (6)____________ man.
Won't you please, please (7)________ me (8)________ we've learned
I (9)________ it sounds absurd
but please (10)________ me who I am.
Now watch (11)________ you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd (12)________ to feel you're
acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!
At night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for (13)________ a simple man.
Won't you please, (14)____________ tell me what we've learned
I (15)________ it (16)____________ absurd
but (17)____________ tell me who I am.
