lyrics

I took the day off work, I took my mind off you
I let it all hang out, don’t know what to do
I didn’t know what to do
Don’t know what to do
With my Halfbearded Blues tonight
I think I’ll stay at home, I think I’ll pass the time
I’ll try to write a song, I’ll try to make it rhyme
Try to make it rhyme
I think I’ll pass the time
I’ll try to make it rhyme
Cause I don’t know what to do
I got my Halfbearded Blues tonight
Now once upon time there was a Halfbearded Fella
Six foot two, blue eyes and his hair was yella’
He took a whole day
To make up his mind
On this particular day he went down to the river
Saw a fish in the water that gave his tall spine a shiver
He took a wrong step
And fell in head first
He said “Hey Mr. Fish why are you swimmin’ so close
Don’t you know the dangers that come to those
Who live
On the edge of life
The Fish said “No Mr. Halfbeard, and you don’t either
In fact your whole life you’ve been a timid creature.”
You’re a long way
From paradise
You don’t know what to do
With your Halfbearded Blues tonight”
Now, Mr. Halfbeard, in light of these remarks
Climbed out the river and sat in the dark
He took the whole night
To just dry on out
When he was finally dry he grabbed his guitar
Picked some good ol’ words out the cookie jar
He sang
And he sang his song
And it goes like
I took the day off work, I took my mind off you
I let it all hang out, I didn’t know what to do
Didn’t know what to do
Didn’t know what to do
With my Halfbearded Blues tonight
I think I’ll stay at home, I think I’ll pass the time
Try to write a song and try to make it rhyme
Try to make it rhyme
I think I’ll pass the time, I’ll try to make it rhyme
‘Cause I don’t know what to do
I got the Halfbearded Blues tonight
