I was new in town, I just pulled in

I was lookin' for the house of a dear old friend

But just how to reach the place

Was still a question

So I stopped an old man on the street

I said "Hey sir, excuse me please,

But I wonder if you'd give me some directions

I told him the address and he said "Yes,

I know what you want to do

But I'm a little fuzzy-minded part of the time

So let me think this through."

He began to mumble and scratch his chin

Then he snapped his fingers, gave me a grin,

And said "Ok son, here's all you gotta do:



Goin' north take a left on south Right Street

Go up the hill to Down Avenue

Turn left at the corner of Circle Square

Then right onto left Wood Lane

Take the lefthand fork at Spooner Road

Then Easy Avenue to Arton Boulevard

Turn back to the left onto right Front Street

It's right down there on your left."



Well I did what he said as best I could

And I thought I was doin' pretty darn good

I'd made every turn except the final one

But when I made the last turn on the drive

I swear I couldn't believe my eyes

I was right back at the place I'd started from!

And there by the curb, feedin' the birds

With a smile upon his face

Was that old man whose directions began

My recent wild goose chase

So I went up to him, I said "Hey friend,

Could you give me those directions again?"

He said "Sure, here's all you do

To reach the place:



Goin' north take a left on south Right Street

Go up the hill to Down Avenue

Turn left at the corner of Circle Square

Then right onto left Wood Lane

Take the lefthand fork at Spooner Road

Then Easy Avenue to Arton Boulevard

Turn back to the left onto right Front Street

It's right down there on your left."



"Oh but that's just what I did" I said,

"But I wound up back here instead

Of gettin' to the place I wanna find

And since I'm right here all I can say

Is that there must be some other way

To take me to the place I had in mind."

He said "No, the way you go

Is the way I told you to

And if this ain't where you wanna be

Well there's nothin' I can do

'Cause that address you gave to me

Is right over there across the street

I can get you to here but the rest is up to you."



Goin' north take a left on south Right Street

Go up the hill to Down Avenue

Turn left at the corner of Circle Square

Then right onto left Wood Lane

Take the lefthand fork at Spooner Road

Then Easy Avenue to Arton Boulevard

Turn back to the left onto right Front Street

It's right down there on your left!!!
