Rules And Regulations
Music and lyrics by Donovan P. Leitch
[Introducing Rules And Regulations, only at the begining of this track in the 1968 original album version. In the 2006 expanded version it's at the end of The Tinker And The Crab]:
This next song... uhm... is called Rules And Regulations. And this... I'm sure everyone will identify with this one.
Is it a boy or is it a girl?
Takes all kinds to make our world go round
The army life ought to be a stipulation
A-that's the proper education
Twenty-five years probation
And give 'em a double 'elping of
The rules and regulations (sing it up boys!)
Rules and regulations
The rules and regulations
Now, live your own life, I'll tell you for why
You're gonna be around when they all die off
The future life ought to be a weight off your shoulders
You'll feel a little bit bolder
And in the photograph folder
A-there will be faded pictures of
The rules and regulations
Rules and regulations
Rules and regulations
Is it a boy, Emily, or is that a girl?
Takes all kinds to make our world go round
The army life ought to be a stipulation
A-that's the proper education
Twenty-five years probation
And give 'em a double 'elping of
The rules and regulations (sing it up boys!)
Rules and regulations
The rules and regulations
The rules and regulations |
