You want to be a bookworm
You wanna be aloof
You wanna sit in judgement
looking down from the roof
Try a wee sensation
but first you have
to want to join in
You should be
should be raging
down the freeway
with some friends from the mall
Don't stay forever in your limbo
fly before you fall
little sparrow
on the schoolyard wall
little sparrow
on the schoolyard wall
So dress a little dangerous
and modify your walk
There's nothing wrong
with sparrows
but try to be a sparrowhawk
Hunting in the evening
and floating in
the heat in the day
You might might acquire
some predatory instinct
Do the wolf pack crawl
Don't stay forever in your limbo
fly before you fall
little sparrow
on the schoolyard wall
little sparrow
on the schoolyard wall
Well, I don't want
to be your daddy
Don't want to be
your engineer of sin
And I don't want to
play the piper here
I'm only banging
on a mandolin
and anyway
you're just a little sparrow
on the schoolyard wall
<Interlude>
There's nothing wrong
with learning
Nothing wrong with your books
So exercise some judgement
Too much broth
can spoil the cook
Feel a little sensation and know
when it's time to join in
You should be
should be raging
down the freeway
with some friends from the mall
Don't stay forever in your limbo
fly before you fall
fly before you fall
little sparrow
on the schoolyard wall
on the schoolyard wall
little sparrow
on the schoolyard wall
little sparrow
on the schoolyard wall
little sparrow
on the schoolyard wall
little sparrow
on the schoolyard wall
