And by and Dby he'll stop and sigh
Before his voice would even begin to speak
And he'd just cry

There are many things I'd love to turn you on to
But somehow I feel they're safer where they are
Chorus:
Yes, There's a man that I know
With no expression
He's got none at all
There's a man that I know
With no expression
He's got none at all
