About

The narrator, possibly a young man, ruthlessly taunts a man on his way to work.

The song is a satire to the alternative youth culture –hippies, beatniks and such– making fun of the “grey little man” that is a pawn of the system.

The narrator thinks he is making the joke but he is actually the joke...

Mr. Sheep Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Golly, Mister
Where you going?
You'll be late for work
Careful or you'll drop your briefcase
Jesus, what a jerk!
There he goes
Down to the subway
Off to catch the train
Too bad for him
He forgot his umbrella

[Chorus 1]
Poor Mr. Sheep
You're wet, Mr. Sheep
Walk on, Mr. Sheep
Walk on

[Verse 2]
Tell me, how's your little family?
How's your little wife?
Are you going to live with those monsters
For the rest of your life?
Maybe you got a little girlfriend
Stashed somewhere in town
Maybe you ain't got a little girlfriend
Hahahahahaha!

[Chorus 2]
Poor Mr. Sheep
He's a lonely guy, too!
Walk on, Mr. Sheep
Walk on

[Bridge]
Dance, Mister!
Hey, he's doin' okay!
Uh oh!
Oh, he'll be all right!
Let him get up by himself

[Verse 3]
Now, I don't want to be too rough
And I don't want to be too mean
You're right, this world is awful tough
I know exactly what you mean
But I want you to know
Exactly how I feel
And to tell you the truth
Right now
I feel like going
I feel like going, "Baa!"

[Chorus 3]
Baa, Mr. Sheep
Careful, you're walking all over your own self now
Walk on, Mr. Sheep
Walk on, Mr. Sheep
Walk on, Mr. Sheep
Walk on!
