about

Thanks to William, who I never saw again after that one day at the coffee stand on River Street in Santa Cruz.

lyrics

1.
William he asked me what you call a group of kangaroos
It's a mob he said
Everyday I learn something new
William he's learning
to lay bricks today up in Bonny Doon
Gets no government assistance
Still doesn't have to go to work till noon
2.
William he lost a tooth
It fell out one morning
In this his second El Nino outdoors
I expressed my sympathy for him
He didn't even know what it was for

~chorus~
He said it ain't nothin'
Said it with a smile
We go on
Still suckin' air

3.
Breakfast with William
Having chai at the coffee stand
Grouchy and complaining
to everyone I can
William he's as cheerful
as this morning sun
Comparing winters
from Santa Cruz to Fairbanks and Burlington

~chorus~
He said it ain't nothin'
Said it with a smile
We go on...
Still suckin' air

repeat verse 3.
Breakfast with William
Having chai at the coffee stand
Grouchy and complaining
to everyone I can
William he's as cheerful
as this morning sun
Comparing winters
from Santa Cruz to Fairbanks and Burlington

~chorus~
He said it ain't nothin'
Said it with a smile
We go on...
Still suckin' air
