[Jonathan Richman - The World Is Showing Its Hand lyrics]

When I first smelled the bus
Fume from the diesel motor
Well my two-year-old mind could
Only applaud such odor
The world is showing me it's tricks
The world was showing it's hand

Then an alley somewhere smelling
Of grease and piss
I was delighted that the world
Would wanna smell like this
The world is showing me it's tricks
The world was showing it's hand

Well the pond and the odor
The swamp and the sweat
Each smell is telling me a secret

So give me an alley give me an valley
Give me a Neapolitan night
Let me smell more of the world

And gain more insight
The world is showing me it's tricks
The world was showing it's hand

Yeah

So give me a mowed lawn give me a old song
Give me summer rain
Let me smell more of the world
Then I might learn something
The world is showing me it's tricks
The world was showing it's hand
