i guess life is a crossing
and people keep passing
the lord made me black and white
with a light on either side
people keep passing, hippidy hop
they keep crossing, hippidy hop
and thats what happens on me all day long
people keep passing, hippidy hop
they keep crossing, hippidy hop
and then the cars come along
there are those who wait for the green man to show
the mom tells her kids 'thats only when you should go'
There are those who don't think a lot
'You could have died', 'it was worth a shot'
There are those who play in and out
Opportunists trying to move about
There are those who just have all the time
Testing nerves, begging the wheels to crime
people keep passing, hippidy hop
they keep crossing, hippidy hop
and thats what happens on me all day long
people keep passing, hippidy hop
they keep crossing, hippidy hop
and then the cars come along
people keep passing, hippidy hop
they keep crossing, hippidy hop
and thats what happens on me all day long

Here's a story of the tortoise and the rabbit
Petty fights were kind of a habit
They couldn't decide who'd get the carrot
And so they agreed on racing to the jungle pit.
The tortoise made some calls and told the press
He said he's sure of winning the race
The rabbit sneaked in and asked if he's ready for his pace
The tortoise trashed back 'get ready to save your face'.
The race kicked off with much fan fare
Friends of the tortoise were outnumbered by those of the hare
The slow movin buddies were taken aback by the dare
Some even shouted 'this aint fair'.
The rabbit took off and was out of sight,
The tortoise could only take 2 steps which took all his might,
He knew he can put up a fight
If all that was planned just went right.
Miles behind but the tortoise didnt lose hope
cursed his legs, wished everything were a downward slope
the rabbit on the way came across a pretty doe
'Come in boy' she said 'you could use a cuppa joe'.
The rabbit told her he was in a race,
She said 'We dont have time, let's get to 3rd base'
The tortoise skipped the route and to get ahead
Took a bypass through the jungle maze.
The rabbit woke up from the one fine stand,
The doe confessed she was part of a plan
The tortoise could see the finish line
''More than the race, i wanna see the rabbit whine''
With a happy face, the rabbit left her crib
Approached the finish line to welcome the press clicks
And this is how the story was spun
The glory was slow but a deceptive one
The tortoise laughed after the race was done
Asked him 'how does it feel to be the slower one?'
The rabbit said 'I must admit I had much fun'
'Procrastination is in my blood, if i get that I think I've won'
There is a point which Aesop missed
Just calm down and go with the drift
Take what comes with the roll of the dice
As for the happy ending - the rabbit got it twice.
