On my own
  How could I have known?
  Imagine my surprise
  Just a fool
  From a tree full of fools
  Who can't believe his eyes
  Imagine my surprise
  
  I was a mean old man
  I was an ornery cuss
  I was a dismal Dan
  I made an awful fuss
  Ever since my life began
  Man, it was ever thus
  I was a nasty tyke who was hard to like
  
  I had to misbehave
  I did things in reverse
  Refused to wash or shave
  I was horrid to my nurse
  I got back what I gave
  Which only made me worse
  I had to have my way
  Which was bleak and gray, oh dear
  
  Living in here
  One hundred years of rain
  Such a drag
  This riches to rags
  With just myself to blame
  A dirty low-down shame
  
  Silly me
  Silly old me
  Somewhere outside my mind
  Clever you
  Walking me through
  Willing to lead the blind
  Just in the nick of time
  
  Who gets a second chance?
  Who gets to have some fun?
  Who gets to learn to dance
  Before his race is run?
  Who gets to shed his skin?
  Who comes up born again?
  Who was a mean old man
  'Til you turned him into a golden retriever
  Puppy dog
  Who's a good boy?
