I can sit on sands by the sea And see the vikings a-fascinating me, me by the moonlight Everything a-changing except the sun and tide Their green lands, rivers and trees and sands Where birds sing animal paradise a-crackling They make me feel glad to be an earthling But the ostrich always gets his man He jumps out from a bush He can run faster than a zebra can But it always takes a push in the morning Burying the head he was born in No one's more important than the earthworm No one's more important than the earthworm Minors rather than majors every single time Just as long as I can make the end rhyme It's too late, I can't change my birth sign So one day when yellows and greens and blues are all over Lay me 'neath the last square inch of clover No one's more important than the earthworm But the ostrich always gets his man He jumps out from a bush Yeah he can run faster than a zebra can But it always takes a push in the morning Burying the head he was born in No one's more important than the earthworm No one's more important than the earthworm And the ostrich always got his man He jumped out from a bush He was running faster than a zebra can But it only took a push in the morning Burying the head he was born in No one's more important than the earthworm No one's more important than the earthworm
