see when I was a little bitty boy
I thought about a great many things
I never did figure out all that much
it did keep me from going insane

and now I am a great big man
or at least they tell me so
I find myself thinking about a great many things
but I'm not sure just what all I know

from the day I first took little bitty steps
I walked just as far as I could
I never did find all that much
but it kept me feeling so good

now I walk and drive through town after town
I go just as far as I can
I've never found what they�re telling me about
not a one could you hold in your hand

well my friends I guess I really oughta settle down
do me some thinking on solid ground
so far this travelin�s the best way I�ve found
to keep up these thoughts ...
these thoughts on a great many things

when I was a little bitty boy
I thought about a great many things
never did figure all that much
but it kept me from going insane

and now I am a great big man
or at least people tell me so
and I find my self thinking about a great many things
but I'm not sure just what all I know
