Though no one knew just how he felt
They could have told you how he smelt
He looked as though about to melt
The man I thought I knew
No one knew just why he stayed
Many hoped the smell would fade
He smelled like something long decayed
The man I thought I knew
The way they spoke was very rude
He did not care how he was viewed
He never seemed to change his mood
The man I thought I knew
But now the man has passed away
But talk of him remains today
His memory will always stay
The man I thought I knew
