Wumbo Blues

[Verse] In a small town diner, I sat feelin’ blue, Had a mini dream, but it wouldn’t come true. I heard a wise man, perched by the payphone, He was mumblin' ‘bout Wumbo, sippin’ coffee alone. [Verse 2] He turned around slowly, with a glint in his eye, Said, "You know, son, Wumbo’s the way to get by. It’s more than just letters, it’s the way that we live, From first grade to forever, it's the gift we can give." [Chorus] Wumbo, it’s the heart of every little thing, From the smallest dreams to what the big life brings. In this town of ours, through the joy and the strife, Wumbo shows us all a bigger, brighter life. [Verse 3] Walkin’ down Main Street, I saw the world anew, Understanding Wumbo, and all that it could do. From the first grade classrooms to the old folks’ home, We're all searchin’ for Wumbo, no longer alone. [Bridge] Years go by and we grow, but we all start small, It’s the Wumbo in our hearts that’ll stand tall. From the love that we share to the lessons we learn, Wumbo’s the fire in the candle that’ll forever burn. [Chorus] Wumbo, it’s the heart of every little thing, From the smallest dreams to what the big life brings. In this town of ours, through the joy and the strife, Wumbo shows us all a bigger, brighter life.
