poi dog pondering – the ancient egyptians lyrics
— ——- ———
(a love letter to jonathan richman)
well the ancient egyptians, and the other africans
the mayans, the incas, and all the polynesians.
all around the world, a long long time ago,
people would walk, where ever they had to go.
they didn’t have car keys, and they didn’t have roads —
they didn’t have those ugly convenience stores, or texacos
in fact, all around the world, a long long time ago,
people would walk, where ever they had to go.
well now it’s the 1990’s, and the gasoline does flow,
but i still try and walk most of the places i have to go
but sometimes my friends will stop and say,
“hey frank! there’s a bus or a cab over there…
why don’t we go ahead and get in it?”
but i say no, no, no, and didn’t you know,
you get to know things better when they go by slow.
