the village idiot / from the album..."ship harbor"

every village has an idiot
a weirdo with a hundred cats
sammy dressed in sacloth and ashes
went around reciting intergalactic math

sammy sold election buttons from the last election
sammy never figured out who had won
sammy stold flowers from mary's garden
she would come out sammy would run

sammy played baseball with the children
sammy never once hit the ball
sammy never cought one in the outfield
it would hit him on the head and sammy would fall

sammy found a bear cub in the forest
sammy took it home and kept it around
sammy shampooed his hair and brushed his teeth
now we got a grizzly bear in town
