Larry Norman - Watch What You're Doing lyrics

Mamma killed the chicken
She thought it was a duck
She put it on the table
With it's legs sticking up

Papa broke his glasses
When he fell down drunk
Tried to drown the kitty cat
Turned out to be a skunk

You gotta watch what you're doing
Didn't you know
You gotta watch what you're doing
Didn't you know

Little Joe Billy went fishing for trout
Played hooky from school
'til the cops found out

Didn't have a father was an only child
And his momma never beat him
So he grew up wild

You gotta watch what you're doing yeah

I knew a girl sweet as could be
But she fell for men like a chain sawed tree

She listened to their lies
Was fooled by their charms now she's sitting
With a baby in her arms

You gotta watch what you're doing
Didn't you know
You gotta watch what you're doing
You oughta know that you gotta watch out
Watch out

Well everything's fine till things get bad
Then you sit around thinking
Of the good times you had

But it ain't no good to lead a life of sin
If you don't shape up
You know you'll never get in

You better watch what you're doing
Don't you know
You oughta know where you're going
Do you know

Some folks smile they seem alright
Then you later find out
They were like demons in the night

Try to love everybody but don't be blind
Cause some kind of people
Try to mess up your mind

You gotta watch who you know
Some people say that god is dead
That He doesn't exist
Except inside your head

I wonder how many gonna be surprised
When they look straight up
And see Him coming through the skies

You gotta watch what you're doing
Cause He does, yeah
You know He watches what you're doing
Yes He does and He knows where you're going
Yeah yeah yow

C'mon pilgrim you know He loves you
He loves you more
Than He loves this cloven earth
Don't make your life bad
And start acting like and idiot

You better watch out
There's someone after you it's the Devil
And he wants to lock you up in his zoo
He's got a nice little cage
Picked out just for you
I bet it fit's real nice too
You gotta watch out

Watch what you're doing
Watch where you're going watch who you marry
Love who you bury

I was walking down the road
Just walking down the road
And I bumped into You

I had a dream which was a
Nightmare it was the last
Time I saw fehrion i was walking
Backwards, picking up the pieces
And looking for the footprints
Of the doctor the butterfly had
Flown and a little wooden man said
"we sleep till He arrives" but
They mad him go back five steps
Which placed him right here and
Also in the kitchen hanging on
To a dead phone and looking at the chicken

Two times seven the clock struck eleven
And them seven days at the edge of space
And I told them, I've got to
Get back to earth

I feel like dying phase two is ensuing
Be careful what you sign
You gotta watch what you're doing
