  • I have been seeking P.F. Sloan
    But no one knows where he has gone
    No one ever heard the song
    That good old boy sent winging

    Now you might sigh
    And you might moan
    And you might sweat
    About the skin and bone
    You just smiled
    And read the Rolling Stone
    While he continued singing
    Yeah, now listen to him singing

    No no no no no no no no no no no
    Don't sing this song
    No, people, don't you sing this song
    Don't sing this song
    It belongs to P.F. Sloan
    Oh from now on

    My old friend Trigger up and died
    So now they've got him stuffed and dried
    You know they've tanned his hide
    And crucified
    Got him starin' glassy eyed
    Out through the parlour door

    The London bridge was finally found,
    They moved it to a another town and no
    People gathered around to watch the bridge fall down
    But I don't think we will know more, no

    No no no no no no no no no no no
    Don't sing this song
    No, people, don't you sing this song
    No no no no no no no no no no no
    Don't sing this song
    It belongs to P.F. Sloan
    Oh from now, from now on

    Nixon's come and bound to stay
    He's taken all my sins away
    I heard it on the news today
    But it set my ears to ringing
    Can't you hear the people singing

    Last time I saw P.F. Sloan
    He was summer burned and winter blown
    He turned the corner all alone
    But he continued singing
    Yeah now, listen to him singing

    Na na na na na na na na na na
    Don't sing this song
    No, people, don't you sing this song
    Na na na na na na na na na na
    Don't sing this song
    It belongs to P.F. Sloan
    Oh from now, from now on Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
