Lyrics:

Jerry stand up
Pull back the curtains and let some light in
Quit your job
Because you hate it and it's wasting you
 
Once upon a time you were running
Singing to the crowd every morning
Once upon a time you were...
 
Jerry stand up
Am I the only one whose noticed that you've been missing?
Remember yourself man
Remember that you have chance and possibility
 
Once upon a time you were running
Singing to the crowd every morning
Once upon a time you were crazy
ooh...
 
Jerry
You're not getting any younger
All you need is fresh air
A nice new suit
A walk in the park every day or two
Fresh air
A nice new suit
A walk in the park every day or two
Fresh air
A nice new suit
A walk in the park every day or two
Every day
In every way
Every day
 
Once upon a time you were running
Singing to the crowd every morning
Once upon a time you were crazy
Crazy (Once apon a time you were)
Crazy (Once apon a time you were)
Crazy (Once apon a time you were)
Crazy
