But l ately th is old d og has been c hasing his tail
r ound and ro und and ro und.
And the c ircles i n my m ind
they have been w inding s lowly d own.
E veryb ody's bre ezing up but I'm sei zing up I'm fre ezing up and I'm fa-ding away .
I 've got a h old on a n ight in Ju ne

And h ere I t hough t I was a th inking ma n

You can h ardly even h ear me because I'm fa-din g a- way.
