Mr. Tinker Lyrics - Aerial Ballet - Harry Nilsson

Mr. Tinker was a tailor 

And he had a neon sign above his door 

And he cooked his meals and he tried to sleep 

In the one room shack directly behind the store 

Above his dresser was a picture of his wife who passed awa-aa-ay 

And next to that there was a picture of the boy who couldn't sta-aa-ay 

Mr. Tinker was a jealous man 

And he never smiled to the people who came to the store 

And he envied them for the lifes they lived and the fun they had 

And the colourful things they wore

It isn't easy for a tailor when there's nothing left to sew 

He wishes he could mend his life but then there's no one left to show 

Pa-pa-pa-para-pa-pa-pa, poor Mr. Tinker 

Pa-pa-pa-para-pa-pa-pa, poor Mr. Tailor

Mr. Tinker was a tailor 

And the tailor has a well respected trade 

But who needs Mr. Tinker 

When all the suits you buy are already made 

P-|a-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, poor Mr. Tinker 

P-|a-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, poor Mr. Tailor
