Cowsill Wearing a crinkled coverall Waiting by the backstage door We're standing in the rain You won't let us in Until it's time for the show to begin Up at sunrise ... travelled far Just to be here early But we're still sitting in the car Let us in oh surely We always like to set up early We all know you Mister Flynn Yes, we know you We've met your frown in every town No matter where we've been We asked around and what we found Made us all feel badly
We understand you had a band But it ended sadly You've entertained for many years But you never made it (Did you really try?) And now you're holding back the tears Totally frustrated And now you're trying hard to hate it But we know you Mister Flynn But, we know you We understand and sympathize With the state of mind you're in We all know you Mister Flynn We all know you Mister Flynn We all know you Mister Flynn Dooo....
