So Handsome I Couldn'T Believe My Ears

When I say things like my momma did When she was eighty years old “He's so handsome, I couldn't believe my ears” It's time for a home I'm told! The train's already left the station, no doubt You're left standing on the platform Before you cash in your chips as they say Someone feeding you will be the norm Such little things like forgetting your choppers Or getting on the bus without pants People snickering behind your back As down the crowded aisle you prance Some things are a little unusual they say Like communicating with the birdies In a language only you and they understand Or when with a mannequin you get flirty Wish me luck on the last leg of my journey Had a blast without any regrets Sure couldn't have asked for anything better My life's been as good as it gets!

There's nothing like feeling good about where you are in life, Jack. You'll be here for quite a while before the train arrives!
