Perhaps
Barney was a farmer, led a simple life
One horse, one son and a wife
When his horse ran away he heard his neighbors say
“So unlucky”. He just said “Perhaps”
One week later that horse came back
Followed by five others in a pack
People in town said God had smiled down on Barney
He just said “Perhaps”
Perhaps, you never know
Who can tell how it’ll go
Perhaps, might be
Too soon to say, so wait-and-see
Barney’s son tried to tame the new horses
One threw him off and he broke his metatarsal
His wife said “Now, who’s gonna plow? We’re in trouble!”
He just said “Perhaps”
The army road in the very next day
And all able-bodied boys were taken away
But with his broken foot Junior had to stay put
How Lucky! Barney said “Perhaps”
Perhaps, you never know
Who can tell how it’ll go
Perhaps, might be
Too soon to say, so wait-and-see
This can go on and on
but I think you get the gist
If you’re still in the game
that’s no time to count your chips
This song is almost over,
what do you think of it?
I like it; I think it’ll be a hit
But Barney, he just said “Perhaps”
Perhaps, you never know
Who can tell how it’ll go
Perhaps, might be
Too soon to say, so wait-and-see
