about

Tips of the hat to Bob Dylan & Paul Simon, this song is full of imagery seen through the eyes of a small town kid arriving in San Francisco.

lyrics

I Guess
Bat Bennett

I knew a seabird who didn’t know me
He passed me by each morning casually
He can be what he wants to be
I guess he just wants to be free

I met a rhino in a coconut tree
I said hello, and he shook hands with me
Now he can be where he wants to be
I guess he likes it in a tree

The bears all went out singing, the giraffes were at the dock
When they asked me out, I said I must be home by ten o’clock
So they went on with their sailing
And I wandered home in shock

But I wasn’t tired the least bit
So I walked around the block

A speed boat driven by monkeys
Pulled a kangaroo on water-skis
Now he can ski, if he wants to ski
I guess it makes him happy

I asked the zoo man where the lions might be
Taking a course in world geography
The wallaby, naturally, takes advanced philosophy

The tiger’s writing novels and the llama’s playing chess
The penguin is at the opera looking fine in proper dress
I’m seeing, but I’m wondering if I’m feeling any stress

‘Cause no else is noticing
It’s all in my head I guess

Now in his fifth year as a Solo Performer on the National stage, Bat leaves quite an impression wherever he plays.
Amazing guitar playing, wonderful storytelling, absolutely delightful. ... more
