Everybody Knows

Everybody knows that the world is round That is everybody 'cept me 'Cause I ain't been told So why should I be forced to believe That the feet I wear are meant to bear pieces of leather that shine No that can't be true cause I can't find a piece to fit mine When I walk downtown Dressed up like a clown People they just burst into tears Lift their heads and whisper in my ears Cover up your toes 'cause everybody knows When I walk downtown Dressed up like a clown People they just burst into tears Lift their heads and whisper in my ears Cover up your toes 'cause everybody knows That the state we're in is about to begin And if that's not enough you try to balance a plate while eating granny smelly's mince pie When I walk downtown Dressed up like a clown People they just burst into tears Lift their heads and whisper in my ears Cover up your toes 'cause everybody knows --- Everybody knows - Gilbert O'Sullivan
