Vincent O'Brien

He only sings when he's sad

And he's sad all the time, so he sings the whole night through

Yeah, he sings in the daytime too

He only dreams when he's sad

And he's sad all the time, so he dreams the whole night through

Yeah, he dreams in the daytime too

There may be mermaids under the water, there may even be a man in the moon

Oh, but Vincent, time is running out, you better get yourself together soon

Out of Buffalo, the man, below the belt, he swung

And then after the bell has rung

Another cheap shot, here it comes

Another cheap shot, here it comes

He only laughs when he's sad

And he's sad all the time, so he laughs the whole night through

Yeah, he laughs in the daytime too

There may be mermaids under the water, there may even be a man in the moon

Oh, but Vincent, time is running out, I hope you get yourself together soon

I hope you get yourself together soon
