Give A Pencil to a Fish

Give pencil to a fish
He ain’t gonna write like Joyce

Buy your dog some nuts and bolts
You won’t get no Rolls Royce

Give a fishing pole to a duck
He won’t know what to do

That’s why baby I won’t give
My love to you



Buy a hammer for a cow
She’s never going build you a barn

Give a soldering iron to goat
He won’t fix your car alarm

Supply a sable brush to a frog
He won’t paint your house blue

That’s why baby
I won’t give my love to you


You look like a model
And you’re smart as a whip, I know
But if you think of more than yourself
It never shows. . .

(Solos)

You look like a model
And you’re smart as a whip, I know
But if you think of more than yourself
It never shows. . .


Give a flashlight to a jackass
You’ll still be in the dark.

Send an ape to driving school
He’ll never learn to park

Supply a cat with pots and pans
You won’t be eating Brunswick stew

That’s why baby I won’t give my love to you
I said that’s why baby I won’t give my love to you
You know that’s why baby I won’t give my love to you
