lyrics

Some say the man was a snail that emerged from a slime
Long before Monkees and Beatles in Pre-Floydian times
I crawled before I could climb
And some say we slithered away from some black waterfall
Some fool left the pool and the results are still with us all

Before I walked I had to crawl
Get down on my knees for it all
I had to crawl
Before I could dance at the ball
Some say that man had a brain the size of a dime
Well I say they’re wrong – it was bigger – the size of a lime
And I crawled before I could climb
And some say that man was a snake before he could talk
I’m not too fond of the pond theory but there may be some truth in it all

Before I walked I had to crawl
Get down on my knees for it all
I had to crawl
Before I could dance at the ball
I had to crawl
Get down on my knees
Get down on my knees for it
I had to crawl
