There was this German, he had this idea
His name was Herman, an architect and seer
The thought was very brilliant and frightening too, you see
A dyke at Gibraltar would turn the Mediterranean
Would turn it to an inland sea
I saw it on page four
He's crazy after all
In my morning paper there are funny things to read
The sea level would sink by evaporation in a short time
Vast areas of useful earth would rise to its prime
And he asked for money
For some attention
At least
But this was the early forties
And his fellow man
Had something else on his mind
He was looking east
I saw it on page four
He's crazy after all
In my morning paper there are funny things to read
I saw it on page four
I saw it on page five
I saw it on page six
I saw it on page 17
I saw it on page 48
I saw maybe something that I know
I saw some things in my head
Like the fact that it just break away
I almost forgot
Now to my point i'll break too deep
but to cry a lot more
I'll say I was older enough and sad I'll just hope it didn't say that i will reply
I saw it on page four
He's crazy after all
I saw it on page four
I saw it on page four
I saw it on page four
I saw it on page four
