I was home alone back in 63
Well, me and an old black and white TV
A scared little kid way down under the weather
Scared cause they whispered I might not get better

On the tube came a friendly familiar pair
Trying to haul a piano up a long flight of stairs
The trouble it gave em made me fret for a while
But when it played the Arkansas Traveler I remembered how to smile

It might not cure what ails you
Won't change your circumstance
You'll just feel a little better
When Stan and Ollie Dance

Guess the Good Lord healed me and I grew up strong
Fell in love with a beautiful girl before long
Years of happiness like a solid brick wall
Til the lies grew like ivy and I watched it fall

Now a broken heart is a constant thief
It'll steal any chance to find relief
But my two old friends took a little pain away
When they joined the Foreign Legion and the band began to play

It might not cure what ails you
Can't fix a bad romance
But you'll feel a little better
When Stan and Ollie dance

Bad times'll come and bad times'll go
But when you're down in your troubles time's moving slow
Find the simple joys, string em ali together
You just might fool time and feel a little better

Now the folks don't trust em when they come around
Two Eastern strangers in a Western town
But they go about their business, decide to take a chance
And when the cowboys get to singing Stan and Ollie dance
