IS THERE A PLANK IN YOUR EYE?
Big enough to walk on
Big enough to build a ship or maybe start a bonfire
Is there a plank stuck in your eye?
Stuck, stuck, stuck
Don’t point a finger and say, Oy!
You’re doing it wrong when hey, hey
Your own life is far from OK
Don’t point at the speck in your brother’s eye
When there’s a whopping great plank in your own
Is there a plank in your eye?
Big enough to walk on
Big enough to build a ship or maybe start a bonfire
Is there a plank stuck in your eye?
Stuck, stuck, stuck
Stuck, stuck, stuck
