I’m Just a Hop Head Songtext
von Moondog

I′m just a hop-head, and so I'll be till I′m dead.
I started hopping when first I hopped into bed.
I took up hop scotch, which had me hopping all day; But that was kid stuff, and soon I put it away.
I took up fishing, and when the river was low,
I took to hopping from stone to stone, fish or no.

As I grew older I took up sailing at sea;
Went island-hopping, a navigational spree.
I'm now a space-man; my flying saucer is fast.
Though slow in coming, I'm planet-hopping, at last.
I′ve reached my limit; no wider worlds to be won.
I′m so unhappy, I wish I'd never begun.
