Jesus Is A Rock In A Weary Land - Frank Sinatra

There is a happy land where only children live They don't have the time to learn the ways Of you sir, Mr. Grownup There's a special place in the rhubarb fields underneath the leaves It's a secret place and adults aren't allowed there, Mr. Grownup Go away, sir Charlie Brown got's half a crown, he's gonna buy a kite Jimmy's ill with chicken pox, and Tommy's learned to ride his bike Tiny Tim sings prayers and hymns, he's so small we don't notice him He gets in the way but we always let him play with us Mother calls, but we don't hear There's lots more things to do It's only 5 o'clock, and we're not tired yet But we will be, very shortly Sissy Steven plays with girls, someone made him cry Tony climbed a tree and fell, trying hard to touch the sky Tommy lit a fire one day, nearly burned the field away Tommy's mum found out, but he put the blame on me and Ray There is a happy land where only children live You've had your chance And now the doors are closed sir, Mr. Grownup Go away, sir

Oh hello, I am the ghost of Troubled Joe Hung by his pretty white neck Some 18 months ago I traveled to a mystical time zone And I missed my bed And I soon came home They said, "There's too much caffeine In your bloodstream And a lack of real spice in your life" I said, "Leave me alone Because I'm alright, dad Surprised to still be on my own" Oh, but don't mention love I'd hate the strain of the pain again A rush and a push and the land That we stand on is ours It has been before so it shall be again And people who are uglier than you and I They take what they need and just leave Oh, but don't mention love I'd hate the pain of the strain all over again A rush and a push and the land That we stand on is ours It has been before so why can't it be now? And people who are weaker than you or I They take what they want from life Oh, but don't mention love No, no, don't mention love A rush and a push and the land That we stand on is ours Your youth may be gone But you're still a young man So phone me, phone me So phone me, phone me, phone me Oh, I think I'm in love, oh, I think I'm in love Oh, I think I'm in love, think I'm in love I think I'm in love, oh
