Doobie Dum Done
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Doobie.
Doobie.
Doobie dum done doobie doobie dum.
Determined to stay stupid,
Meant to dumb down.
Kept to dumb down.
To play and clown around dumbed down.
Doobie doobie dum doobie dum doo.
And stupid.
Doobie doobie dum doobie dum doo.
And stupid.
Comfortable they are to be dumbed down.
And stupid.
Comfortable they are to be dumbed down.
And found around.
To be the clowns.
Left...
Dumbed down.
Doobie doobie dum and doing stupid.
Dumbed down.
With a doobie doobie done and doing stupid.
Dumbed down.
And doing stupid.
Dumbed down.
Being stupid.
Swing low.
Those with no minds known to grow.
And doing stupid.
Dumbed down.
Doing stupid.
Dumbed down.
Being stupid.
Swing low.
Those with no minds shown to grow.
And staying stupid.
