And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

If you are a piano,
You will laugh on ev'ry string,
And if you are a girl or boy,
You'll sing.

I don't mind failing in this world,
I'll stay down here with the raggedy crew,
'Cause getting up there means stepping on you,
so I don't mind failing in this world.

Song I don't mind failing in this world (1966)

There was a little boat sailed down the river,
Hull was a cup and sail was a feather,
Cum peedle ump pump pay.

They don't know my head's full of me
And that I have my own special thing,
And there's no hole in my head.
Too bad.

Little man stood at the Mayor's door,
No one had ever seen him before,
Dressed in clothes of a gayer mood
Than ever are seen in Hollywood.
