Ooh-ooh
  Old Mr. Joe, he build a house away
  On top of some hill
  Old Mr. Joe knew he had to go, so he
  He got right down and wrote bank will
  He say now, here's to mother hen
  And her chicken, Lord have mercy now
  Master, will you take a roll in the mud
  Like you know you should?
  The old barnyard, the old barnyard
  Birds and the chick, ooh-wee
  Who's got to watch out for brother mongoose
  With his top hap and walking-stick?
    It's just the poor's brain washing
  (Poor's ...) They told me a long time ago,
  It's just the poor's brain washing, ooh-wee
  (Poor's 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's (... brain washing)
  And I don't need it no longer (... washing)
  It's just the poor's brain washing
  Coming through to a poor man's child, ooh-wee, look at this
    Little Miss Muffet she sat on a tuffet
  While Little Red Riding Hood delivered her grandmom's food
  Ooh-wee ooh-wee
  Ooh-wee, look at one more thing like this
  The cow jumping over the moon
  While the dish got jealous, he grabbed the handy spoon
    It's just the poor's brain washing
  And I don't need it no longer, I don't want it no longer
  I don't need it no longer (...washing)
  And I don't care for no more brain washing (... washing) ...
