He didn't wanna be a shepherd
And follow in his father's path
But they all fancied him a shepherd
And so they gave the boy a staff
He only did it out of duty
But he wasn't really there
Too busy working on his daydreams
And he wasn't well prepared
(He was ill prepared)
Oh no, the boy cried wolf
One too many times before
Wolf see sheep, wolf think eat
Wolf don't know what else sheep for
The wise man built his house upon a rock
But the foolish man, he built it on the sand
And then the rain fell, and the floods came
And only one of them could stand
He didn't know if he could see it
But he could feel the wolf was there
He didn't know if they'd believe him
But doubt himself he wouldn't dare
So he cried out to the people
There's a wolf up over here
He didn't do it out of boredom (boredom)
No, the little boy was scared
(The boy was scared)
Oh no, the boy cried wolf (wolf!)
One too many times before
Wolf see sheep (mm), wolf think eat (uh-huh)
Wolf don't know what else sheep for
The wise man built his house upon a rock
But the foolish man, he built it on the sand
And then the rain fell, and the floods came
And only one of them could stand
How can you know the yeses and nos and guesses
Of a professor who professes to know?, I'm guessin'
You cry wolf and they'll think you're like Pinocchio
There's nothing left to know, but to see how long your nose grows
How can you know the yeses and nos and guesses
Of a professor who professes to know?, I'm guessin'
You cry wolf and they'll think you're like Pinocchio
There's nothing left to know, but to see how long your nose grows
Oh no, the boy cried wolf
One too many times before
Wolf see sheep, wolf think eat
Wolf don't know what else sheep for
The wise man built his house upon a rock
But the foolish man, he built it on the sand
And then the rain fell, and the floods came
And only one of them could stand
