IMPROMPTU SYMPHONY

Momma never had so much
But her high hopes in me
"A plum can only fall," she said
"Just so far from a tree
So take this old harmonica
That cost dad one penny
And may you play upon it
An impromptu symphony"

An impromptu symphony
Is easy to compose
It's just the wind a whistlin
Through holes in your clothes

I'se kicked out of the circus
A 'red light' for wretched me
I sat down there upon the rail
And played my symphony
Along came a locomotive
With a belching black smokestack
My harp met its demise
On that lonely stretch of track

My Impromptu Symphony
If you happen to enquire
Was written by the rails
As I sat on a flat tire

My flea circus was revolting
So I set the matter straight
I gave them each their own room
In a hotel with flat rates
It didn't cost an arm and leg
And served them all quite well
They lived happily ever after
In my "Crushed Harmonica Hotel"

An Impromptu Symphony
Ain't hard for you to play
Just fill your head with pipedreams
And blow them all away
