A thing we take for granted in Greene County’s Cairo town

Will pass into history another memory tumbling down

No more he’ll walk the streets of Cairo on his daily hike

‘Cause Jeff went and bought Tony Fallon’s three wheel bike

He’ll be going much faster now no more he’ll need his stick

If he’s coming down the street you’ll have to move real quick

From all the walking all those years his legs have great power

He could be coming at you at more than thirty miles per hour

And he might put on an engine if there is not vibration

 The tires will not be blown up to their maximum inflation

That will give him better traction in the rain and snows

And will leave no tell tale marks if he runs across your nose

There will be people taking picture others using telescopes

And teen agers on skateboards being pulled along by ropes

His circle of travel daily will now be greatly expanded

He will carry a repair kit and tools so will ne’er be stranded

There will be children waving wildly from many passing cars

And he’ll be treated like a celebrity in East Durham’s Irish bars

Can you imagine all the confusion and mix-up he will cause?

If he goes to Kingston in May they’ll think he’s Santa Clause

For his transportation to the supermarket there is no daily cost

And neither is there smog or smoke coming from an exhaust

So if you see Jeff out there pedaling by night or early morn

Just wave to him as you pass by, but do not blow your horn.
