 THE LOGICAL SONG        


 CHOOSE the correct answer then watch the video and check

When I was young it seemed that life was so

A miracle, oh! It was beautiful, magical

And all the birds in the tree, well they’d be singing so

Joyfully, playfully, watching me

 

But then they sent me away to teach me how to be 

Logical, responsible, practical

And they showed me a world where I could be so 

Clinical, intellectual, cynical

 

There are times when all the world’s asleep

The questions run so deep for such a  man

Won’t you please, please tell me what we’ve learned

I know it sounds absurd. Please tell me who I am

 

Now watch what you say or they’ll be calling you a 

Liberal, fanatical, criminal

Won’t you sign up your name we’d like to feel you’re 

Respectable, presentable, a vegetable.
