Well, it's a change in the ocean, change in the sea
Woke up one morning was a change in me
I put on my pants, my pants fell down
Well, I put on my shoes and they fell off too
I looked in the mirror, was nothing to see
That's how it goes when you're a shrinking man like me
Worried man with a worried song
Shrinking man ain't gonna be here long
Well, sometimes I worry 'bout clothes
Shrinking man's got to look good sometime
Don't need no sweatshop child
Puttin' shoes on my feet this time
Chained to a sewing machine
Down in hell where the sun don't shine
But please don't rob your fellow man
Shrinking man, shrinking man
Nobody was worried 'bout a shrinking man
Sometimes I worry 'bout food
'Cause a shrinking man's got to eat right sometime
I don't need much and I don't pay
To poor folks out on the poison ground
Oh when you're just a little old shrinking man
Nobody was worried 'bout a shrinking man
Worried man with a worried song
Shrinking man ain't gonna be here long
Sometimes I worry bout prayer
'Cause a shrinking man better be a prayin' man
Once I had a dream that was working
I had good ideas, I made big plans
Now I'm just like a leaf in the wind that's blowing
I hope King Jesus can understand
Shrinking man, shrinking man
Nobody was worried 'bout a shrinking man
Worried man with a worried song
Shrinking man ain't gonna be here long
