She came prancing in wearing a lovely houndstooth suit.
And a silky lavender shirt, and a neck tie lariat to boot.
Her oversized rhinestone shades made her ex yell out “shoot!”
He still had enormous loving feelings for this feminine galoot.
However you slice it, life's a big hoot
Been feeling like this since arriving whoop, whoop!
Popped out, SURPRISE!
It's me, whatta prize
As kooky as they come, whatta big old galoot
However you slice it, life's a big hoot
Been feeling like this since arriving whoop, whoop!
Popped out, SURPRISE!
It's me, whatta prize
As kooky as they come, whatta big old galoot
However you slice it, life's a big hoot
Been feeling like this since arriving whoop, whoop!
Popped out, SURPRISE!
It's me, whatta prize
As kooky as they come, whatta big old galoot
However you slice it, life's a big hoot
Been feeling like this since arriving whoop, whoop!
Popped out, SURPRISE!
It's me, whatta prize
As kooky as they come, whatta big old galoot
Gerry, a galoot from Burke,
Was a professional at doing the shirk,
No labour where he goed
No sweat ever flowed,
A genius at avoiding all work.
However you slice it, life's a big hoot
Been feeling like this since arriving whoop, whoop!
Popped out, SURPRISE!
It's me, whatta prize
As kooky as they come, whatta big old galoot
