A woman came up to me and said
I`d like to poison your mind
With wrong ideas that appeal to you
Though I am not unkind.
She looked at me, I looked at something
Written across her scalp
And this is what it faintly said
As I tried to call for help:
CHORUS
There`s only one thing
That I know how to do well
And I`ve often been told that you only can do
What you know how to do well
And that`s be you
Be what you`re like
Be like yourself
And so I`m having a wonderful time
But I`d rather be whistling in the dark
There`s only one thing that I like
And that is whistling in the dark
A man came up to me and said
I`d like to change your mind
By hitting with a rock, he said,
Though I am not unkind.
We laughed at his little joke
and then I merrily walked away
And hit my head on the wall of the jail
Where the two of us live todaay
CHORUS
