A man can't dance without the chance      Before you stands the man you see   But that man don't mean shit to me   Nothing more than a parody   Just peeking over a steep wall to see      And he's in love with his own ideas   Yeah, he's in love with his own ideas   Good and evil just a way to choose   And some he'll remember and some others he'll lose   He's in love with his own ideas      Jack be nimble, Jack be quick   Leap the candle, pull off your trick   He burns himself up upon the wick   The lesson learned, but it just won't stick      And he's in love with his own ideas   Yeah, he's in love with his own ideas   Good and evil just a way to choose   And some he'll remember and some others he'll lose   He's in love   With his own ideas      The cloth is sharp and it cuts both ways   Goes off whenever a banjo plays   The sinner rejoice as the wise man prays   Two groups of alley cats taking in strays   And each in love   With his own ideas      Before you beats a fearful heart   Fearful you'll tear it apart   But don't you rush and now don't you start   'Cause he's a little bit shy and a little bit smart      And he's in love with his own ideas   Yeah, he's in love with his own ideas   Good and evil just a way to choose   And some he'll remember and some others he'll lose   He's in love with his own ideas
