Once there was a mannAnd so I am toldnThat he could swallow the dirtnThen shit into goldnWith a wave of his handnAnd the wink of an eyenHe turned raindrops tonDiamonds in the skynnBut whatever he didnNo matter who he helpednHe was unable to help himselfnBut whatever he didnNo matter who he helpednHe was unable to help himselfnWho, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohnnGod played a trick,nSo he looked up and he screamednWhy can't the truthnBe the same as I dreamed?nGod played a joke,nSo he looked up and he screamednWhy can't all thingsnBe just as they seem? nnBut whatever he didnNo matter who he helpednHe was unable to help himselfnWhatever he didnNo matter who he helpednHe was unable to help himselfnWho, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
