Start tearing the old man down Run past the heather and down to the old road Start turning the grain into the ground Roll a new leaf over In the middle of the night, there's an old man treading around in the gathered rain Hey mister if you're going to walk on water Oh, could you drop a line my way? Omaha, somewhere in middle America Get right to the heart of matters It's the heart that matters more I think you better turn your ticket in, and get your money back at the door Omaha Counting Crows Sorry got baseball on my mind!
How could I forget this one. I'm upper, upper class high society God's gift to ballroom notoriety And I always fill my ballroom The event is never small All the social papers say I've got the biggest balls of all Big Balls, ACDC
Next time your found, with your chin on the ground There a lot to be learned, so look around Just what makes that little old ant Think he’ll move that rubber tree plant Anyone knows an ant, can’t Move a rubber tree plant
