Henry Kelly climbed to the top of the tree |
|
he was only four or five |
|
he took his big wheel to the top of the tree |
|
and tried to take a ride |
|
henry kelly fell |
|
and he screamed like hell |
|
as his body bounced off the branches |
|
he fell from the top of the tree to the ground |
|
and there wasn't a tooth in his mouth when he landed |
|
and the grown ups said "Oh! Henry Henry Kelly don't you see |
|
you could have died!" |
|
but the kids said, "Henry Kelly you're our hero, you can't tell |
|
if something's possible if you don't try." |
|
Henry Kelly waited for his big teeth to grow in |
|
and he grew up and he is fine |
|
and unless you've heard the story told |
|
you might not even notice that he has a crooked smile |
|
so all you kids with over protective parents |
|
now listen here to me |
|
go out and try stuff |
|
get dirty, get hurt, don't be so scared of everything. |
|
and the grown ups said "Oh! Henry Henry Kelly don't you see |
|
you could have died!" |
|
but the kids said, "Henry Kelly you're our hero, you can't tell |
|
if something's possible if you don't try." |
|
kids need to see that kids can be kids |
|
and maybe get hurt sometimes |
|
they might break some bones |
|
or lose some teeth |
|
but they hardly ever die |
|
i hope that legend still get passed from kid to kid these days |
|
about the crazy stunts tried by other kids |
|
but long ago and far away |
|
like the one about the girl who made a plastic parachute |
|
jumped off the roof and broke her knees |
|
or how Gerald McGuire lost one of his balls when he |
|
flipped his ATV |
|
or how Henry Kelly climbed to the top of the tree |
|
he was only four or five |
|
he took his big wheel to the top of the tree |
|
and tried to take a ride |
|
he took his big wheel to the top of the tree |
|
and tried to take a ride |
