Tom McGee(08/18/1969)

There was a man named Tom McGee
  Who lived up in a tree.
Children gathered from all around

          For he tweedled and he deedled
          And he tweedle-deedle-deed
          He would tweedle-deedle-dee
          As he sat in his tree.

The children loved him, yes, they did,
  As if he were a kid,
But he was a silly old man,
  Who heard thunder and ran.

      CHORUS

And he said, “I will sing a song
  Of why bells go ding dong.”

      CHORUS
          But he just tweedled...

And the children looked quite confused,
  What language had he used?
They all said, “Silly Tom McGee,
  How crazy can you be?”

      CHORUS
          For he just tweedled ...
