Green Eyed Figure
i was surfing on the web one winter day
when a flash of light came across my way
i looked at the tv and lo and behold
stood a green eyed figure all dressed in gold
he said now son why did you call me
from down in the bottom of your old tv
i stay down there when the nights get cold
said the green eyed figure all dressed in gold
i said my man you are a heck of a sight
where,d you come from in the middle of the night
he said i come from a place far away
but ive been here for many a day
he said let me tell you one thing my friend
you better not bother me ever again
i might get mad and then you will see
that you wont have no old tv
with a tip of his hat he said goodnight
in the wink of an eye he was out of sight
then i heard him laughing real soft and low
that green eyed figure all dressed in gold
i havent seen the fella since i dont know when
and i dont know if i,ll ever see him again
i will be surfing for sure when the nights get cold
for the green eyed figure all dressed in gold
