Eponymous Sparrow - Mass St Skip Lyrics

One day I was walking down Massachusetts street
When a hippie with a pot leaf on his shirt skipped right past me
I wonder where he's going and where he's been today
I wonder what happened to put that smile on his face
But I had an idea

So I began skipping down Massachusetts street
When a police officer he turned and stopped to ask me,
"Excuse me what's that there that you're doing with your feet?"
And I said you gotta' try it you're just gonna' have to have to see
And he let go of his gun with relief

So now were both skipping down Massachusetts street
When a proud professor passing by was plumbed by what he'd seen
He said, "Gents what are you doing surely you've both gone insane,"
I replied that where we're going you don't have to use your brain
And he dropped his briefcase right into a drain

Now we're all just skipping down Massachusetts street
Dropped our burdens on the ground we don't even feel the heat
Cars keep honking mad at us 'cus we're blocking up the way
We don't care we're havin' a ball we are minding our parade
Feel free to join or get out of the way

A stern sergeant was struck amazed our assembly ambled by
It wasn't regulation and he felt an urge to cry
Maybe just once away from base oh brass would never know
It wouldn't hurt, no surely not, oh maybe he could go
"Ah," he said, "forget my CO"

Now we're all just skipping down
Now we're all just skipping down
Now we're all just skipping down on Massachusetts street
Dropped our burdens on the ground, no we don't feel the heat
Don't know no division, we have not anxiety

Now we're all just skipping down
Now we're all just skipping down
Now we're all just skipping down on Massachusetts street
