The Waffle Or the Pancake
Do I want a waffle, or do I want a pancake?
Do I want a black eye, or do I want a belly ache?
Do I want an Edsel, or do I want a 'Vette?
Should I take a Train, Or fly in a Jet?
Is the weather cold outside, or is it very hot?
Is there boogers in my nose, or is it just some snot?
The bed is very soft, and I cannot sleep so sound
I should leave the city, and move myself downtown
If you have an Apple, and your grades are low
give it to the teacher, and cover it with snow
Dazzle'em with brilliance, and never let it show
that if you had any brains, it would surely show
So if the preachers talking, and you are drawing breath
it was exaggerated about your timely death
your mother told you plainly, an orphan you would be
if you did not dot your "I's", and cross your capital "T's".
so listen very carefully, and try to imagine how
you do not live in the past, your life happens now
