Like A Wave On A Wide Ocean

[Verse 1]
You don't get far
Playing bass guitar
So I bought me
A violin

[Chorus]
It sounded like a rooster
Like an egg, like a bird
On the wave
Of a wide ocean

[Verse 2]
So I went up to the president
And asked if I could play
Play a tune, play a tune
For him

But he kicked me out, into the streets
And the people
Gathered 'round, gathered 'round
To hear me play, my violin

[Chorus]
It sounded like a rooster
Like an egg, like a bird
Like the wave
Of a wide ocean

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Well the president, he came out
And asked if I would play
Play a tune, play a tune
For him

But I said no
Said I wouldn't go
And play a tune for him
On my violin

[Chorus]
And it sounded like a rooster
Like an egg, like a bird
Or a wave
Of a wide ocean
