1	Oh no, oh no						mr. jones has a little problem	1
2	Oh no, oh no						if i had eyes i'd see that it was me	2
3	Oh no, oh no						he's the size of a man with	3
4	Oh no, oh no						the potential of a boy	4
5							not what god had meant a child of its to be	5
6	Mr. Jones has a little problem						i'm afraid that he'll amount to all of nothing	6
7	If I had eyes, I'd see that it was me						the joy of reading Yeats he'll never know	7
8	He's     the size of a man with the potential of a boy						and in the rat race twirl	8
9	Not what God had made a child of His to be						of our computer guided world	9
10							he stands no chance of winning	10
11	I'm afraid that he'll amount to all of nothing						let alone                      to place or show so	11
12	The joy of reading Yates, he'll never know						lock him up and throw away the key boys	12
13	And in the rat race twirl of our computer guided world						mr. jones is not like you or me	13
14	He stands no chance of winning let alone to place or show						luck him up tight	14
15							cause if he had the chance he might	15
16	So, lock him up						show us that we're wrong	16
17	Throw away the key, boys						and that's the one thing we can't be	17
18	Mr. Jones is not like you or me						oh no	18
19	Lock him up, tight						mr. jones wanted to be married	19
20							it seemed like such a cute thing at the time	20
21	'Cuz if he had the chance he might						two peas in a pod, two of a kind	21
22	Show us that we're wrong						who never have to ask each other	22
23	And that's the one thing we can't be						"what's on your mind?"	23
24	Oh no, oh no						it seemed a simple way to make them happy	24
25	Oh no, oh no						and happy is such a simple way to be	25
26							and if the kept to themselves	26
27	Mr. Jones wanted to be married						like two books upon a shelf	27
28	It seemed like such a cute thing at the time						the kind you judge by the cover	28
