"Harvest Moon" by Manny Charlton

You can't do anything right they call you good for nothin'
You can't read or write and you can't count up to ten
You run around blind but your feet run around in circles
You're heads in the clouds but your havin' yourself a time

I want to be like you
I want to be like you
Just a natural fool, under the harvest moon
Just a crazy old fool, under the harvest moon 
That's alright.....that's alright

You don't give a damn about the latest style or fashion
Your hair's too long and your feet don't fit in your shoes
You're not too smooth but I know that you must know
something
There's a look in your eye when you hear those rhythm and
blues

I want to be like you
I want to be like you
Just a natural fool, under the harvest moon 
Just a crazy old fool, under the harvest moon
That's alright.....that's alright

You're much too wide and you're way too fat for comfort
You drink too much and you smoke like an ol' steam train
You're a barrel of fun and the girls all think you're crazy
Just a dancing fool singin' in the morning rain

I want to be like you
I want to be like you
Just a natural fool, under the harvest moon 
Just a crazy old fool, under the harvest moon 
That's alright.....that's alright
