Utah Phillips - Weepy Doesnt Know

                                                     
[Verse 1]
G
Why's everybody laughing?
C      D7/F#       G
Weepy doesn't know.
G
He just stands there grinning,
  A          D
I guess he's kinda slow;
     G
But Weepy don't get sore,
      C
Seems like he asks for more
G                       C     D7/F#         G
Look at all the broken dishes on the floor.

[Verse 2]
G
Weepy can't do nothin',
C       D7/F#       G
There's nothin' he can do.
G
Sometimes he takes all morning
  A          D
To find his other shoe.
 G
Hey, Goddamn it, Sid,
  C
Lay off the poor dumb kid!
G                       C     D7/F#         G
Come on Weep, I'll show you where it's hid.

[Verse 3]
G
He's so damned good natured,
 C       D7/F#       G
Just laughs and takes his lumps.
 G
You never seen him angry
  A          D
'Cept when he's croaking gumps.
 G
But that's no big surprise,
 C
It's right there in his eyes;
G                       C     D7/F#         G
Looks like Weepy's found him something more his size.

[Verse 4]
G
Just like all these dishes
C       D7/F#       G
There's something in him broke;
 G
Don't guess we mean to hurt him
  A          D
When we play our little joke.
 G
Still the social workers say
 C
He might have to go away,
G                       C     D7/F#         G
Well, you ask him - I bet he'd like to stay.
