[Intro] [Intro Banjo] [Verse 1] Once upon a time in an old new england town Moved in a man from the far east Came from the far east to the north east From east to east he was bound Walking and rowing to an old new england town [Verse 2] The local leaders and the uptight clique Were so excited and thought it extremely slick Announcing this mans arrival So excited that such a fellow was coming to town A new foreign face to see among the crowd [Verse 3] Planning a big day in the towns square The mayor dressed in his best Ready to address the attendees Introducing the visitor at noon [Chrous] Before the baked bean soirée Before everyone became a methane mill [Interlude] [Verse 4] The mayor starting off with his best town cryer voice Please welcome swami para-jama-ease-o-witz??? He comes to us from far away He is coming here to stay [Verse 5] The swami is a tall man of slight build Long white hair Wearing beads around his neck Dressed in a long white robe With sandals on his feet Carrying his walking staff [Chorus] Something not seen in an old new england town Folks wondering what part of the world he was from [Interlude] [Verse 6] Swami invited everyone out on the green Introduced them to the yoga scene Got everyone tied up in knots Sprawled out on the ground The whole town looking like a pretzel [Bridge] People moaning and groaning Crying in pain [Interlude] [Verse 7] Children running to and fro Thinking all these people are insane Making fun of parents and neighbors Stuck there in knots All balled up [Verse 8] That was how swami para-jama-ease-o-witz came to town From east to east he was bound Walking and rowing to an old new england town Got the town all tied up Laid out on the ground [Outro] Keep an eye out for the swami He’s not here to be your mommy [Fade] [End] [END]
