Dory Previn - Cully Surroga He's Almost Blind lyrics

Cully surroga he's almost blind One day his eyes just went dim How could such a terrible think occur When his mother took such care of him? She cherished him She nourished him She praised him to the skies She polished his mind and his body So he would be both strong and wise She saw to it he had a bicycle To develop his arms and legs She read him thoreau and theosophy She fed him organic eggs She saw to it he took his vitamin pills Five one-a-days every day He choked every time he swallowed them But she never heard Him say one word But hey mom that's okay okay o Hey mom that's okay okay o Hey mom that's okay okay o Hey mom hey mom hey mom that's okay She made him take up yoga For the strength and the meditation She saw to it he ate greens and beads For good elimination He happened to hate those beans and greens But she never never never never heard Him say not one damn word against them But hey mom that's okay One day she got this notion If he stared direct at the sun He'd get his energy right from the source It would shoot through his brain like a gun Like a gun And universal light she cried Will penetrate your cells And it will ring throughout your body Just like metaphysical bells And you'll be better built And you'll be better read And you'll be better able to run And then in the little league And then in the basketball You'll be the graduate number one Mother's son You'll be the graduate number one Mother's son Well he stared at the sun dear mother He stared every day for an hour Till the sphere began to fade And the light lost most of its power And the day went dim Dear god dear mother And the sweet sun slipped away And there ain't no sun no more no more There's just a ball of grey He wrote that for some reason Whatever He can't recall Dear mom he wrote There ain't no sun He wrote it on a men's room wall No more sun he wrote No more shine he wrote Just a ball of grey Other than that mom i'm doin' fine I take my vitamins five a day I hang out in bookstores like i should I meet some well read girls that way My elimination is very good So there's nothin' more to say to say But hey mom that's okay okay o Hey mom that's okay okay o Hey mom that's okay okay o Hey mom hey mom hey mom that's okay
