The Time Capsule

If you could leave behind a time capsule What kind of things would it hold It could be something brand spanking new But to them, it would still be old Would it be some kind of music? Maybe your favorite song? Not any of that beatnik stuff Well, cause, that would just be wrong What about a photograph? You know, like Marilyn Monroe Wait, I'm only kidding My wife done told me "No" Not to change the subject But I've got a question to ask real fast If you're walking, while looking in a mirror Does it mean you can see the past? Sorry, I don't know where that came from I won't let it happen anymore Now, getting back to the time capsule You know, what we were talking about before? Maybe, leave them something scary Like a picture of my mother-in-law I wouldn't do that to my worst enemy And to them I didn't know least of all Well, I'm sure you'll think of something That you would want to leave behind My wife said I couldn't participate Cause, there's no telling what they'll find
