A                    G
Ooh, old Mr. Joe he build a house, yeah
On top of some hill
Old Mr. Joe knew he had to go, so
He got right down and wrote a will

He say now here is to mother hen and her chicken
Lord have mercy now
Master will you take a roll in the mud
Like he know he should

The old barnyard, the old barnyard,
birds and the chick
Ooh-ee, who's got to watch out for brother mongoose
With his top hap and walking stick
It's just the poor's brainwashing

They told me a long time gone
It's just the poor's brain washing
The old brain washing

Now look at a thing like this
Cinderella and her long lost fellow,
in the midnight hour
She lost her silver slipper

Humpty dumpty sat on a wall, while Jack and Jill
Had themselves a fall
It's just the poor brain washing and
I don't need it no longer
It's just the poor's brain washing
Coming through to a poor man's child
Ooh, look at this

Little Miss Muffet she sat on her tuffet
While Little Red Ridinghood delivered her
grandma's food
Ooh-ee, ooh-ee, ooh-ee

Look at one more thing like this
The cow jumping over the moon, while the
dish got jealous
He grabbed the hand of the spoon

It's just the poor brain washing and
I don't need it no longer
I don't want it no longer
I don't need it no longer

And I don't care for no more brain washing
It isn't good for my soul
