Running Jumping Standing Still

Well, I’m running jumping standing still
Riding around like Buffalo Bill
Riding around like Buffalo Bill
Climbing the hill like Jack and Jill
I’m doing it all of my own free will

Well, I’m running around from town to town
I’m nowhere bound on a merry-go-round
Nowhere bound on a merry-go-round
I’m chasing my tail like a rabid hound
I keep clowning around ’til they lay me down

Well, when I was a boy at the age of three
I fell out of my family tree
I fell out of my family tree
And lost the key to life’s mystery
And the rest of my life’s been a mystery to me

I decide my plan by throwing a dart
Blindfolded into a sailing chart
I throw a dart into a chart
I get on my electric go-cart
Take a pogo stick if the cart don’t start

Well, a man of the world once said to me
“You’re floating around like a leaf in the breeze”
Floating around like a leaf in the breeze
Yes that’s true I do agree
And that’s the way I like it to be

I’m trying to talk to a love machine
I got a jumping bean for a go-between
I got a jumping bean for a go-between
I’m trying to meet a woman I’ve never seen
I’m gonna ask her “Where in the world you been?”

I got a movie star for a house pet
I’m a major threat to the jet-set
I’m a major threat to the jet-set
I’m gonna catch a thousand dollar bill in a butterfly net
Oh yes and no regrets

I’m running jumping standing still
Riding around like Buffalo Bill
Riding around like Buffalo Bill
One of these days I’m gonna get killed
But not before I had my fill
