作曲：James Taylor

On my own

how could I have known

Imagine my surprise

Just a fool from a tree

full of fools

Who can believe his eyes

Imagine my surprise

I was a mean old man

I was an ornery cuss

I was a dismal Dan

I made an awful fuss

Ever since my life began man

It was ever thus

I was a nasty tyke

Who was hard to like

I had to misbehave

I did things in reverse

Refused to wash or shave

I was horrid to my nurse

I got back what I gave

Which only made me worse

I had to have my way

Which was bleak and gray

Oh dear living in here

One hundred years of rain

Such a drag this riches to rags

and just myself to blame

A dirty low shame

A dirty low shame

Silly me silly old me

Somewhere outside my mind

Clever you walking me through

happy to lead the blind

only in the nick of time

Who gets a second chance

Who gets to have some fun

Who gets to learn to dance

Before his race is run

Who gets to shed his skin

Who comes up born again

Who was a mean old man

Till you turned him into

A golden retriever puppy dog

Who a good boy
