I feel like shipwrecked Kelly sittin' high atop the pole
Cause no one came to see me and the stunt got rather old
So I thought I'd walk the tightrope across Niagara Falls
Still no one came to see me no one came at all
It's so damn depressing there's no one to share my schemes
So I'll make up some old stories just call me Parson Weems
Remember Typhoid Mary I knew her well did I
She gave me gonorrhea damn near made me blind
I don't go spreading rumors I don't go spreading lies
But I think Howdy Doody's Wendell Willkie in disguise
It's so damn depressing there's no one to share my schemes
So I'll make up all my stories just call me Parson Weems
