Current song lyrics
The higher that the monkey can climb<br />The more he shows his tail<br />Call no man happy ?till he dies<br />There?s no milk at the bottom of the pail<br /><br />God builds a church<br />The devil builds a chapel<br />Like the thistles that are growing<br />?round the trunk of a tree<br /><br />All the good in the world<br />You can put inside a thimble<br />And still have room for you and me<br /><br />If there?s one thing you can say<br />About mankind<br />There?s nothing kind about man<br />You can drive out nature with a pitch fork<br />But it always comes roaring back again<br /><br />Misery?s the river of the world<br />Misery?s the river of the world<br />Misery?s the river of the world<br /><br />The higher that the monkey can climb<br />The more he shows his tail<br />Call no man happy ?till he dies<br />There?s no milk at the bottom of the pail<br /><br />God tempers all the ruins for the new shorn lands<br />The devil knows the bible like the back of his hand<br />All the good in the world<br />You can put inside a thimble<br />And still have room for you and me<br /><br />If there?s one thing you can say<br />About mankind<br />There?s nothing kind about man<br />You can drive out nature with a pitch fork<br />But it always comes roaring back again<br /><br />For want of a bird<br />The sky was lost<br />For want of a nail<br />A shoe was lost<br />For want of a life<br />A knife was lost<br />For want of a toy<br />A child was lost<br /><br />And misery?s the river of the world<br />Misery?s the river of the world<br />Everybody row! Everybody row!<br />Misery?s the river of the world<br /><br />Misery?s the river of the world<br />Misery?s the river of the world<br />Everybody row! Everybody row!<br />Everybody row! Everybody row!<br /><br />Misery?s the river of the world<br />Misery?s the river of the world<br />Everybody row! Everybody row!<br />Everybody row! Everybody row!<br />Everybody row!<br /><br />Misery?s the river of the world<br />Misery?s the river of the world<br />Misery?s the river of the world<br />Misery?s the river of the world<br />Everybody row!
