Ever since Chicken Little said, the sky was fallin' down upon his head I told myself, what a wonderful world Climb a tree, headin' straight to the pond Catch some polly wogs before they turn to frogs I told myself, what a wonderful world Puppy love are behind the law, before you know it it's a big old dog Left so suddenly, where's that wonderful world? Just a kid growin' up on a farm, hardly knew what was right from wrong It's a jungle in this wonderful world Ever since Johnny went to Nam, he lost his mind when he lost his arm I convinced myself, it's an ugly old world But seein' school, I was just a kid, someone had to go and shoot the president He wasn't sleeping when he's going to bed, so they said, so now he's dead Didn't know much but I knew it wasn't funny Everybody's crying like they k**ed the Easter bunny Nothing changes, never changes, k**ing in vain Tell me what it's coming to, tell me what well we ain't gonna do If it stays like this we'll have nothing left to lose Saw a picture and it ain't so pretty, from the West Coast to New York City I've seen the world, it's such a pity, we'll be here on our own Ever since Chicken Little said, "Humpty Dumpty fell and broke his head" I told myself, what a wonderful world Ever since mom she reveal, the tooth fairy nor Santa Clause is real May be so, mama, it's still a wonderful world That may be so, mama, still it's a wonderful world
