The Tale of Ted

The Tale of Ted - Terry Draper

Lyrics by：Terry Draper

Composed by：Terry Draper

Now I say to you and listen well as I tell the Tale of Ted

He could've been the kings' artiste but he chose the people instead

He sowed the seeds and reaped the fields of his imagination

He could've been the kings' artiste but he chose to feed the nation

Old friend I see your face everywhere I go

Old friend I'll see you again at the end

Old friend old friend

This is the Tale of Ted and the things inside his head

So much to be said about Ted

Old friend I hear your voice everywhere I go

Old friend we will chat again at the end

Old friend old friend

There'll never be another my brother to discover

At least not in this way

I hope that you're still painting creating motivating

And sipping chardonnay

Buena Suerte oh mi caminante

Flying fish and clippers the cumberland and kippers

No one ever knew what to expect from you

Old friend I see your face everywhere I go

Old friend I'll see you again at the end of the race

Old friend old friend

This is the Tale of Ted and the things inside his head

There's much to be said about Ted

All the visions in his head

Aardvarks and airships

And the dreams he takes to bed

Mermaids and Seaclypse

And the fantasies he spread

Gardens and space trips
