lyrics KING Today it was another warm one Gentle breeze and summer stormin' It's lucky for the farmers there was rain The dollar's tight, the market's down The circus tent is back in town They're putting in a store at 5th and Main Reading you the papers Telling you the news Telling you what's going on and on and on each day, every day And I know that it's crazy And I know I'm a crazy old man But I would like to think you understand I like to think you understand I think you understand It says a doctor overseas Has found a cure for some disease A breakthrough of the very rarest kind It's nothing new for you and me We've seen a lot of history I bet next week he'll have to change his mind We've seen the craze for penicillin We've seen the bleeding with a cup We've seen the praying and the leeches and the herbs All the science in the world can't wake you up But I'll keep reading you the papers And I'll keep telling you the news I will go on telling you what's going on each day, every day... And I know that it's crazy And I know I'm a crazy old man But I would like to think you understand I would like to think, even though I -- I know that it's crazy And I know I'm a crazy old man But I would like to think you understand
