Who took your measurements
From your toes to the top of your head?
Yeah, you know
Who bought you clothes and new shoes
And wrote you a book you never read?
Yeah, you know

Who was it? Yeah, you know
We real cool
On the far side of the morning
Who was it? Yeah, you know
We real cool
I hope you're listening
Are you?

Who was it you called the Good Shepherd
Rounding up the kids for their meal?
Who chased your shadow running up behind
Clinging to your high flying heels?
High flying, high flying heels?

Who was it? Yeah, you know
We real cool
On the far side of the morning
Who was it? Yeah, you know
We real cool
And I hope you're listening too

Who measured the distance from the planets
Right down to your big blue spinning world?
And heartbeats and tears and nervous laughter
Spilling down all over you, girl

Who was it? Yeah, you know
We real cool
And the world keeps on turning
Who was it? Yeah, you know
We real cool
I hope you're listening
Are you?

Sirius is 8.6 light years away
Arcturus is 37
The past is the past and it's here to stay
Wikipedia is heaven
When you don't wanna remember anymore

On the far side of the morning
Who was it? Yeah, you know
We real cool
And I hope you hear me
And you'll call
Yeah, we real cool
Yeah, we're real, real cool
