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!
