(Mark Lennon & Michael Lennon)

This here's a story, I sing for you

It may sound funny, but know it's true

I hope you get it, before I'm through, I hope you do

I miss the strawman, and dottie two

I've heard the lyin', the tinman's blue

I've seen the witches, both good and bad, I'm glad I had

I held the rabbit, the rabbit died

Talked to the preacher, the preacher lied

I held my mother, my mother cried

Cried for my father

And so please don't talk about life to me

I've seen more than most people my age have seen

And there ain't no rules on how it's gotta be

Think again

Oh and please don't talk about love to me

'Cause I've given love and I've received

And you know I'm gonna love just who I please

Think again

I crossed an ocean and wrote this song

A million people, but I can't find one

I loved Katrina, but now she's gone, gone to my father

This here's a story, I sing for you

It may sound funny, but know it's true

I hope you get it, before I'm through, I hope you do

(Chorus)
