Smothers Brothers - Mediocre Fred lyrics

rate me

(Written by Pat Paulsen)

There once was a man who was none too good.

And then I'd say, he was none too bad.

At times he was mighty good for a spell

And at times he'd go out and he'd raise a little hell

[CHORUS]

Mediocre Fred

Mediocre Fred

Fred went to work from eight to five

And he punched a clock to show he's alive

Went to church every Sunday morn

Sometimes he wondered why he was born

[CHORUS]

Mediocre Fred

Mediocre, dull Fred

Fred went to the movies every Saturday night.

Liked to watch TV and the western fights

And he paid his taxes most every year

And on a hot summer day, why he drank a little beer!

[CHORUS]

Exciting Mediocre Fred!

Mediocre Fred

Well the days went by all dull and gray

And he didn't think much and had little to say

And when the full moon rose, he'd climb over the moat

Find some people sleeping, and he'd bite their throats!

[CHORUS]

Mediocre Fred

Mediocre, dull Fred<br />

<br />
