<pre>(A great philosopher once wrote) | |||
Naughty naughty, very naughty | |||
(Ha ha ha ha ha) | |||
There's a guy in the place | |||
He's got a bittersweet face | |||
And he goes by the name of Ebeneezer Goode | |||
His friends call him Eezer | |||
And he is the main geezer | |||
And he'll vibe about the place like no other man could | |||
He's refined, he's sublime | |||
He makes you feel fine | |||
Though very much maligned and misunderstood | |||
But if you know Eezer | |||
He's a real crowd pleaser | |||
He's ever so good, he's Ebeneezer Goode | |||
You can see that he's mischievous, mysterious and devious | |||
When he circulates amongst the people in the place | |||
But once you know he's fun and something of a genius | |||
He gives a grin that goes around from face to face to face | |||
Backwards and then forwards, forwards and then backwards | |||
Eezer is the geezer who loves to muscle in | |||
That's about the time the crowd all shout the name of Eezer | |||
As he's kotcheled in the corner, laughing by the bass bin | |||
Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode | |||
He's Ebeneezer Goode | |||
Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode | |||
He's Ebeneezer Goode | |||
Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode | |||
He's Ebeneezer Goode | |||
Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode | |||
He's Ebeneezer Goode | |||
He's Ebeneezer Goode | |||
