albert had an einstein
billy had a kid
captain kidd had a map of the world
that showed where the treasure was hid
confucius sat upon a bench
and listened to the birds
daniel boone in the forest
was a man of few words
darius was a mighty king
and was called the great
he had an elephant made of gold
but it was not worth its weight
jonah fell into the sea
and was rescued by the whale
sinbad met them on the beach
and lived to.tell their tale
st anthony was a hermit
and saw demons in the skies
st francis talked with dogs and cows
and it made him very wise
columbus sailed the ocean blue
and was much admired at the time
montezuma asked him for a nickel
and he threw him a lousy dime
ben franklin tamed the lightning
and wore spectacles on his nose
george washington cut down the cherry tree
and struck a noble pose
abe lincoln wore a crown of gold
and hid it in his hat
crazy horse had a big black dog
custer had a calico cat
jeese james was an outlaw
and only wanted to be free
he was shot in the back by his own best friend
a lot like you and me
i could go on like this forever
like a barker at a fair
but if you want true wisdom
you must look elsewhere
