The Folks Inside

Shel Silverstein

Inside you, boy,

There's an old man sleepin',

Dreamin', waitin' for his chance.

Inside you, girl,

There's an old lady dozin',

Wantin' to show you a slower dance.

So keep on playin',

Keep on runnin',

Keep on jumpin', 'til the day

That those old folks

Down inside you

Wake up . . . and come out to play.
