Cully Surroga He's Almost Blind

Cully Surroga He's Almost Blind - Dory Previn

Cully surroga he's almost blind

One day his eyes

Just went dim

How could such

A terrible think occur

When his mother

Took such care of him

She cherished him

She nourished him

She praised him to the skies

She polished his

Mind and his body

So he would be both

Strong and wise

She saw to it he had a bicycle

To develop his arms and legs

She read him thoreau

And theosophy

She fed him organic eggs

She saw to it he

Took his vitamin pills

Five one-a-days every day

He choked every time

He swallowed them

But she never heard

Him say one word

But hey mom that's okay okay o

Hey mom that's okay okay o

Hey mom that's okay okay o

Hey mom hey mom

Hey mom that's okay

She made him take up yoga

For the strength

And the meditation

She saw to it he

Ate greens and beads

For good elimination

He happened to

Hate those beans and greens

But she never never

Never never heard

Him say not one

Damn word against them

But hey mom that's okay

One day she got this notion

If he stared direct at the sun

He'd get his energy

Right from the source

It would shoot

Through his brain like a gun

Like a gun

And universal light she cried

Will penetrate your cells

And it will ring

Throughout your body

Just like metaphysical bells

And you'll be better built

And you'll be better read

And you'll be better able to run

And then in the little league

And then in the basketball

You'll be the graduate number one

Mother's son

You'll be the graduate number one

Mother's son

Well he stared

At the sun dear mother

He stared every day for an hour

Till the sphere began to fade

And the light lost most of it's power

And the day went dim

Dear god dear mother

And the sweet sun slipped away

And there ain't no

Sun no more no more

There's just a ball of grey

He wrote that for some reason

Whatever

He can't recall

Dear mom he wrote

There ain't no sun

He wrote it on a men's room wall

No more sun he wrote

No more shine he wrote

Just a ball of grey

Other than that mom

I'm doin' fine

I take my vitamins five a day

I hang out in

Bookstores like I should

I meet some well

Read girls that way

My elimination is very good

So there's nothin'

More to say to say

But hey mom that's okay okay o

Hey mom that's okay okay o

Hey mom that's okay okay o

Hey mom hey mom

Hey mom that's okay
