Split Personality
My name is Shawn and let me make that clear
I am always the shy and humble one around here
Lets all go down to the tavern for some beers
Softball night has just ended
And it was our opponent who definitely was offended
By all the base hits and home runs that landed
But it's ok let me buy you a beer
That way you don't have to break down in tears
Pitcher after pitcher we're all are getting pretty drunk
I know I better leave before I get jumped
Because things are heating up about our opponents being trumped
I excuse myself and go into the restroom
And when I return I am in full bloom
It's getting rowdy and it's clear
But never fear Tommy Two Toes is here
"What's the mattah' witch you." I say pushing a mans chest
"Are you talkin' to me?" As I pointed to my chest
"Your not Italian. He says to me.
Pushing me back and almost knocking off my feet
I grab a mug and smash it over his head
You should have seen all the blood.
I stand over him and pull out my knife
"You shouldn't have messed with Tommy Two Toes tonight.!"
The cops show up and put me in cuffs.
"Remember." I yell as I am being escorted out
"You'll never mess with Tommy Two Toes again in your life!"
The next day I wake up in jail and I needed to post bail
"Shawn!" The officer yells. "Grab your mat your outta here."
"Who made bail I ask."
"A Guy named Tommy Two Toes. "Said to expect you later"
