The Miniature Philosopher Lyrics - The Gay Parade - Of Montreal

He's a miniature philosopher 

He stands five foot three 

So no one takes him seriously 

He's in love with Gertrude Lullaby 

But she doesn't care for him 

He's like a house boy to Miss Lullaby 

And their future looks very dim 

He's a miniature philosopher 

He takes notes on all he reads 

But that doesn't satisfy his needs 

He's a desk clerk at the bank and trust 

There's so many contracts and paperwork to do 

He gets so busy at the bank and trust 

There is no time for Nietzsche or Camus 

He's a miniature philosopher 

He writes essays on Voltaire 

But if he died no one would care 

He doesn't know why his life turned out this way 

No one ever reads his dissertations or allegoric plays 

So he comforts himself while searching a rhyme 

That the public rarely recognize a genius in their time 

(Poor little guy)

Though he hasn't got a friend 

He's sure he'll be famous in the end
