Peter

Way back when before my favorite songs
I heard a little group was playing Casey Jones
Was a really silly place to put a saxophone
But Peter made them change their minds

The wheels got rolling and the names got strange
The dogs got barking and the faces changed
Different hands were holding different reins
To different destinations

He purred like a kitten and howled at the moon
His fingers were smitten with pistols at noon

Most men's arms and legs can only move
But he'll sing like a bird and dance like a firefly
Most men's arms and legs can only move
But Peter leaves them all behind

All this jiving takes your breath away
And flakes white noses on a rainy day
But fresh fruit and fishing when the truth gets played
Peter leaves it all behind

All those notes you thought were out of sight
Blown French kisses on a humble flight
Light up the heavens on a starlit night
Peter left them all behind

He purred like a kitten and howled at the moon
His fingers were smitten with pistols at noon

Most men's arms and legs can only move
But he'll sing like a bird and he'll dance like a firefly
Most men's arms and legs can only move
But Peter leaves them all behind

Most men's arms and legs can only move
But Peter leaves it all behind
