lyrics

WHEN I WAS BORN MY MOTHER DIED AND MY FATHER WENT AWAY

AND THEY SEND ME TO KINDER GARDEN ,IN KINDER GARDEN I WAS VERY SAD I WAS ALL ALONE BY MYSELF
AND THEN ONE DAY THE KINDER GARDEN TEACHER SHE CAME TO ME AND SHE SED : BEAT-MAN WHY ARE YOU HERE ALL ALONE WHY DON’T YOU SMILE AND PLAY WITH THE OTHER KIDS BE SOCIAL SOCIALIZE YOUR SELF ..AND I SED.. KINDER GARDEN TEACHER YOU KNOW WHAT

AND I SAW THE PINK ELEPHANT FLYING AROUND MY HEAD
