Planted the seed of an apple one day
Now I got a fig leaf to cover my hey

Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain't that a way to make a wheel

Planted the truth on a slab of stone
Words still there, but the eyesight's gone

Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain't that a way to make a wheel

Fed a whole tribe with fish and bread
Called him a Commie and left him for dead

Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain't that a way to make a wheel

Had a good ship on the Aegean Sea
But it sunk in the ocean because the crew wasn't free

Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain't that a way to make a wheel

Took a lot of work to build the road to Rome
But the men who built it didn't have no home
Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain't that a way to make a wheel

Spread the word 'til you have a crusade
Steppin' on the graves that the converts made

Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain't that a way to make a wheel

Had a revolution gonna set us all free
Well it worked for you, but it hasn't for me

Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain't that a way to make a wheel

Planted a flower in Chicago
Damned if the mother-lovin' flower would grow

Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain't that a way to make a wheel

Bought a little island for twenty-four bucks
Well it's worth its weight now in garbage trucks

Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain't that a way to make a wheel
Planted a mushroom in '45
Ah... Ah... nobody's alive

Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain't that a way to make a wheel
