Is I Is Or Is I Ain'T? (A Bow To the Cab)

I woke up this morning And found I wasn't me I looked so gosh-darn different As anyone can see Where did I go, and who is this? I struggled with the thought I ain't this person in the mirror I ain't what I thought ought Oh, what the heck Maybe it's all for the best I climbed back in my bed And continued with my rest I was never that darn charming and no handsome movie-star I wish I had their looks But you are just what you are Awoke again, and to my surprise Another strange face before my eyes! I figured, wow, this is cool I'll sleep much on and off Until I find a face That doesn't make me cough So, children, listen to me Be proud of what you've got don't be so darn envious You putrid piece of snot!
