"Shoemaker's Children"
the chicken has come home to roost | the cows have come home too | & that old fat lady's singing | but i'll be home before too long | 'bout an hour before the flood | the crows have passed their judgement | there's nary a rat to be seen | & the people swarm the city to grab one last glimmer of green | make way for the shoemaker's children | here they come marching down your street | ten million strong they limping along on their bare and broken feet | they've built themselves a ship of fools to float for eternity's sake | they've hired a band to remind them of land | & strew flowers in their wake | oh say that you in a little canoe | will paddle with me my whole life through | oh say that you in a little canoe | will paddle with me my whole life through | (repeat 2x) | oh plant me now by an old willow tree in a garden on avenue B | but be sure to dig me later | by the edge of some salty old sea
