Running Jumping Standing Still

Well, I’m running jumping standing still

Riding around like Buffalo Bill

Riding around like Buffalo Bill

Climbing the hill like Jack and Jill

I’m doing it all of my own free will

Well, I’m running around from town to town

I’m nowhere bound on a merry-go-round

Nowhere bound on a merry-go-round

I’m chasing my tail like a rabid hound

I keep clowning around ’til they lay me down

Well, when I was a boy at the age of three

I fell out of my family tree

I fell out of my family tree

And lost the key to life’s mystery

And the rest of my life’s been a mystery to me

I decide my plan by throwing a dart

Blindfolded into a sailing chart

I throw a dart into a chart

I get on my electric go-cart

Take a pogo stick if the cart don’t start

Well, a man of the world once said to me

“You’re floating around like a leaf in the breeze”

Floating around like a leaf in the breeze

Yes that’s true I do agree

And that’s the way I like it to be

I’m trying to talk to a love machine

I got a jumping bean for a go-between

I got a jumping bean for a go-between

I’m trying to meet a woman I’ve never seen

I’m gonna ask her “Where in the world you been?”

I got a movie star for a house pet

I’m a major threat to the jet-set

I’m a major threat to the jet-set

I’m gonna catch a thousand dollar bill in a butterfly net

Oh yes and no regrets

I’m running jumping standing still

Riding around like Buffalo Bill

Riding around like Buffalo Bill

One of these days I’m gonna get killed

But not before I had my fill
