One-Eyed Man

by Rob Henderson
sung to the tune of "Nowhere Man" by the Beatles

He's a big one-eyed man
Living in his one-eyed land
Talking to a tiny man called Nobody

Only has one point of view
Lives on cheese and mutton stew
Keeping all his flock inside his cave

One-eyed man, please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Said the seer...
Odysseus is the one you should fear

But this man called Nobody
Barely large enough to see
One-eyed man, can you see him at all?

One-eyed man, don't worry
Chew them up, don't hurry
Don't fill up, 'cause small men are so
Stringy and tough

Drinks too much of small man's wine
Just one poke and he goes blind
Shouts that he's been hurt by Nobody

No-eyed man, please listen
All those small men are missing
No-eyed man...
Nobody hides under your ram

He's a big no-eyed man
Living in his one-eyed land
Asking all his brothers to kill Nobody
Swearing to take his revenge on Nobody
Praying for his father's curse on Nobody

Note: This is the second song in my ongoing project to tell the story of Homer's Oddysey in the style of the movie Yellow Submarine. -RobH
