Book Tour -Aka- Move Over Fame You'Re In My Spot

The other day my cousin Mabel She said to me Mike I ain't never seen Nothing before like your poetry Cuz, you need to be famous We're going to take this on the road We're going to knock down some doors We're going to make some heads explode She said I know this feller He's going to do good by you He's one of them there agents of sorts He'll put you in the news Right then and there she called up Bubba Who believe me, didn't come cheap Wanting all the money up front If he was to represent me So I handed over all my doe And now that's where we are On a whirlwind of a tour Of America's Super Wal-Marts He even had me a bunch Of my poetry books printed out I think that they're in English But I still have my doubts That's okay cause most here Prefer not to read And Bubba had his kid draw in some pictures Which seems about all they need They ask if I'm famous I come back with a lie Ever hear of Jeff Foxworthy? Well I know that guy That's when the book sales took off Like history in the making I told Bubba to buy his son more crayons We're going to need more illustrations Yes this being a famous poet Seems to really suit me Tomorrow we're going to set up a stand Outside of Denny's We'll be hitting the breakfast crowd Right on up through lunch So move over fame your in my spot Just call it a hunch
