Signs Five Man Electrical Band # 026 - 1
And the sign said "Long-haired freaky
people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat, and I
went in to ask him why
Bm G
He said "You look like a fine,
upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat and
said "Imagine that! me workin' for you!"
Chorus
Sign sign everywhere a
sign Blockin' out the scenery, breakin'
my mind
Do this, don't do that,
can't you read the sign? Everybody singing sign
And the sign said anybody
trespassin' would be shot out of sight
So I jumped on the fence
and I yelled at the house
"Hey, what gives you
the right?
Bm G
You put up a fence to
keep me out but to keep Mother Nature in,
If God was here he'd tell
you to your face, "Man you're some kind of sinner!"
Now hey there mister can't you read?
You gotta have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no you can't even You ain't supposed to be here.
Sign said you got to have a membership card
to get inside...Uhhh!
And the sign said "Everybody welcome,
come in, kneel down and pray"
But when they passed around the plate and
they emptied it all
I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper, and I made up
my own little sign
I said "Thank you Lord for thinkin'
about me, I'm alive and doin' fine!"
Chorus
