I hung around   On the planet Mabel   She tried to stand   But she was not able      She tried to find the truth   She tried to colonize space   She only had a few   But it was a good race      Old black dawning is coming on   Old black dawning is coming on   An old black dawning   Old black dawning      I'm always happy to   Go down to Old Tucson   After you had your fun   It's time to move on      I've got a favorite story   About the Tower of Babel   Some say it's true   And some say it's a fable      Old black dawning is coming on   Old black dawning is coming on   Old black dawning   Old black dawning
