Littlest Man Band - The Preface Lyrics

I turned all the lights off
And tried to find my way around,
I stuffed my ears with cotton
So I couldn't hear a sound
I covered my mouth with tape
So I wouldn't scream for help
I had to prove to everyone
I could do this by myself

But I asked some friends to come along
To see if we could work it out
We sweat and slaved and with all we gave
This is all that came out
A highwire act with acrobats
And no safety net
Keep your eyes wide open
'Cause you ain't seen nothin' yet.

So may I introduce to you
The one and only
Littlest Man Band

Telling a story of a boy and his friend
Entitled
