Ssshhhhhhhh, Don’t………….tell…………..anyone
I found a lamp with a jeanie and I’m gonna have fun
Mmmmmmmmm three wishes, what will they be?
I know eliminate wars, pain and suffering from humankind
No wait I’ll have every boot in the world kick my boss’s behind
Oooooooor a Porsche no Lamborghini
Surrounded by plump women, I hate them skinny
Aaaaaaand uuumm? To rule the world and have all the money
Be the a comedian and people will die laughing cause ill be really funny
No I got it, be able to go anywhere in the universe
Or never die so I don’t have to ride in a hearse
I don’t know, a wife that doesn’t cause me heart ache and pain?
No I have one, my imaginary friend Glen’s sister Jane
Uuuuuh man! Ok two beers, one for you and one for me
And another Jeanie cause I know I'll mess up the first 3 wishes you see
* I dream of Jeanie contest*
What is it like?
I don’t remember.
It has been a long time
A moment of quietly being alone
No little kids voices screaming for a hot dog
The phone doesn’t ring
Music playing on a stereo in the next room
Mozart filling the empty space
Notes and chords
Reeds, brass and percussion
Playing a symphony of relaxing tones
But not a single word to be heard
Could this moment ever really exist?
Maybe in today’s world it is merely a fantasy
There will always be a child
An annoying phone call
Something…anything
That will disrupt the quiet I am searching for
In my dreams I may finally find it
A world of total quiet, total relaxation
No screaming kids
No phone calls
The only cursed interruption
When the sun rises
That damn bell rings
The little kids yell
The phone rings
And the real world starts all over again
I fooled the whole world for a number of years
The opposite sex...those gullible dears
A sexy slim body, and cute little butt
Had them acting like fools...behaving like nuts
But old Father Time had a plan for this figure
That cute little butt, well, it only got bigger
One life changing morning my pants wouldn't fit
No pulling or tugging got them over my hips
Denial, denial, surely they've shrunk
This simply can't be...Lord, tell me I'm drunk!
The lesson I've learned will last me forever
The world you might fool, but your skinny pants, Never!!
