[milo]

my mamee told me, be care whatcha do
for the karma remember all things
and after ya die ye'll get whatcha earned
and ye'll see what 'cher good living brings

but dyin' I did and I'm calling it bunk
'cause I was reborn as a flea
and my big brother, john was reborn with a trunk
as a pachyderm, how can that be?

'cause the oliphants get a parade
ya the oliphants get a parade
my big brother john was a bully, old son
and I was reborn as a flea!
but he got it made in this karmic charade
cause the oliphants get a parade

Mike kept a shop in the heart 'o down town
and a generous shop-keep was he
and he went to the church and took care 'o his kin
and his wife and his girls (he had three)

John got to drinkin' and ran mikey down
and then Mike was reborn as a mouse
but a pachyderm charged and ran that mouse down
'cause 'ol John is now big as a house

'cause the oliphants get a parade
ya the oliphants get a parade
my big brother John was a bully, old son
and I was reborn as a flea!
but he got it made in this karmic charade
'cause the oliphants get a parade

Big Ben loved the bars and the bars was his life
and his life was spent rousin' and drinkin'
but big Ben had a temper and a very sharp knife
and would cut a man down without thinkin'

and a life spent on drinkin' and cuttin' men down
well, what does that mean for 'ol Ben?
he's reborn as a tiger and loose on the town
and he's cutting men down once again!

'cause the oliphants get a parade
ya the oliphants get a parade
my big brother John was a bully, old son
and I was reborn as a flea!
but he got it made in this karmic charade
cause the oliphants get a parade
