"She Sang Hymns Out Of Tune"

She sang hymns out of tune

And carried a yellow balloon

She traded her love

For a Spanish doubloon

And talked to the people

The people who are

Now I have a clock on the wall

It keeps time and that isn't all

It tells me how long she's been gone

Gone to the people

The people who are

She lived in a sorcerer's room

And pounded the table

And brandished the broom

She turned ten thousand

When she touched the moon

And turned to the people

The people who are

Waaa waa waa

Rain came down and scattered away

The old antique caretaker's children that play

Early that morning she passed away

Passed to the people The people who are

She sang!

She sang hymns out of tune

And carried a yellow balloon

She traded her love for a Spanish doubloon

And talked to the people

The people who are
