Whistlers And Jugglers
Shel Silverstein
So you take the lady
And I'll take the lesson
I can't say that anyone
Is doing me wrong
Cuz I always knew
The girl had a weakness
For whistlers and jugglers
And singers of songs.
Now she was a child
Back when I first found her
And the woman inside her
Was just being born
And I knew she'd come with me
Cuz she had a fever
For whistlers and jugglers
And singers of songs.
And the whistlers would whistle her
A tune she can dance to
The jugglers would cheer her
When she starts to cry
The singers with sing her
A bed of red roses
Where she might let you lie
By her side.
She'll laugh in the face
Of the wealthy and famous
And you'll never lose her
To the handsome or strong
But all of your life, son
Watch over your shoulder
For whistlers and jugglers
And singers of songs.
Oh... the girl's got a weakness
For singers of songs.
