pigeon run
Singer: chapin, harry
frozen in each town and village
in the central square
never in a dark museum
but in the open air
a monument to model glory
wars that we have won.surely
all of us had heard the stories
how his deeds were done
awwwwwwwwww.pigeon run
the day they unveiled his statue
and the bands that played
we all heard the widow weeping
while the mayor praned
the words they chizzled in the marble
were shadows of the sun saying
fall out boys who went to battle
is the bravest one
awwwwwwwwww.pigeon run
and pigeons perch apon his shoulder
they spread his head with fertilzer
and an old man comes
to scrub the stains
but when his gone
there back again!
the boy who never be forgotten
the boy who knew no fear
for charing when the bugles blew he
gets a reef each year
and there
he stands through all the seasons
cluching at his gun
stone cold blind
awwwwwwwwww.pigeon run
and pigeons perch apon his shoulder
they spread his head with fertilzer
but no hair grows
apon his head
nothing grows
when you are dead!
