The Donut SongWhen you walk the streets you'll have no caresIf you walk the lines and not the squares As you go through life make this your goal Watch the donut, not the hole It's written on the rainbow In letters made of gold Written on the rainbow There's wisdom to behold My friends the little sparrow Flew close enough to see Written on the rainbow Is this philosophy It's written on the rainbow In letters made of gold Written on the rainbow There's wisdom to behold My friend the little sparrow Agrees it must be so Little angels wrote it So folks on earth would know Watch the donut, not the hole I'm off to jolly England Where bulldogs all wear pants Off to Pango Pango Where alligators dance My friend the little sparrow Will take me when he flies Even to the rainbow To read with my own eyes It's written on the rainbow In letters made of gold Written on the rainbow There's wisdom to behold My friend the little sparrow Flew close enough to see Written on the rainbow Is this philosophy Watch the donut, not the hole! |
