Shoobie-Doobie (The Mask of Time), Long version
���© Nick Colavito & Doug Walters

Won't you come out to play
Won't you come out to play
Won't you come outside and play with me

Can you hear the - children laughing - Laughing at the dawn
See their heads a live with colors - Living on and on

The endless dream of youth
Our unforeseen truth
Angels spreading their wings
And voices raised to sing

Can you see the - elders watching - Watching in disgust
Once their heads were - full of color - Now they're full of rust

Are they lost within the years
Trapped in a cage of tears
Like angels without wings
And voices that never sing

All day long it's in and out and up and down the stairs
Haven't got a problem or a worry or a care
In the morning watch cartoons
Out to play in the afternoon
Tell you what I say - it's a Shoobie - doobie la da da doo day

Shoobie - doobie la da da doo day
Won't you come outside with me and play
Shoobie - doobie la da da doo day
Won't you come outside with me and play

Sitting on my - front porch watching - from my rocking chair
My eyes are red - my skin is wrinkled - gray spots in my hair
In the front yard children play
I call to them and wave
They just turn away
They never call my name
They never call my name
I'm not to old to play
(I'm not to old too play)

Shoobie - doobie la da da doo day
Won't you come outside with me and play
Shoobie - doobie la dad a doo day
Won't you come outside with me and play

I know you think of me as an old man
Out of step with time
But I still hold the dreams of a young man
Deep inside my mind

And inside the - brightness it still - shines
inside the - brightness - shines
All you - see is the mask of - time
What I wear is the - mask of time - (won't you come out and play)

Shoobie - doobie la da da doo day
Won't you come outside with me and play
Shoobie - doobie la dad a doo day
Won't you come outside with me and play
Shoobie - doobie la da da doo day
Won't you come outside with me and play
Shoobie - doobie la dad a doo day
Won't you come outside with me and play
I'm not to old - I'm not to old
I'm not to old to play - not to old
Call my name - call my name
Call my name - call my name
I'm not to old to play -

Totally rocking progressive classic rock with exhortation to the infinite child. Spinal tap could not have done it better.
