It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick around |
[00:30.96] |
A little me to fill up with my thoughts |
[00:33.11] |
A little me or he or she to fill up with my dreams |
[00:37.34] |
A way of saying life is not a loss |
[00:40.49] |
I'd keep the tyke away from school and tutor him myself |
[00:44.23] |
Keep him from the poison of the crowd |
[00:46.72] |
But then again pristine isolation might not be the best idea |
[00:50.96] |
It's not good trying to immortalize yourself |
[00:53.84] |
Beginning of a great adventure |
[00:58.44] |
Beginning of a great adventure |
[01:06.85] |
Why stop at one, I might have ten, a regular TV brood |
[01:14.23] |
I'd breed a little liberal army in the wood |
[01:18.17] |
Just like these redneck lunatics I see at the local bar |
[01:21.46] |
with their tribe of mutant inbred piglets with cloven hooves |
[01:25.35] |
I'd teach 'em how to plant a bomb, start a fire, play guitar |
[01:28.28] |
And if they catch a hunter, shoot him in the nuts |
[01:31.53] |
I'd try to be as progressive as I could possibly be |
[01:34.77] |
As long as I don't have to try too much |
[01:38.51] |
Beginning of a great adventure |
[01:43.09] |
Beginning of a great adventure |
[01:50.42] |
Susie, Jesus, Bogart, Sam, Leslie, Jill and Jeff |
[01:59.15] |
Rita, Winny, Andy, Fran and Jet |
[02:01.73] |
Boris, Bono, Lucy, Ethel, Bunny, Reg and Tom |
[02:05.57] |
That's a lot of names to try not to forget |
[02:09.32] |
Carrie, Marlon, Mo and Steve, La Rue and Jerry Lee |
[02:12.45] |
Eggplant, Rufus, Dummy, Star and The Glob |
[02:15.49] |
I'd need a damn computer to keep track of all these names |
[02:19.68] |
I hope this baby thing don't go too far |
[02:22.62] |
I hope it's true what my wife said to me |
[02:26.06] |
I hope it's true what my wife said to me, hey |
[02:30.09] |
I hope it's true what my wife said to me |
[02:33.38] |
She says, "Baby, it's the beginning of a great adventure |
[02:38.71] |
Babe, beginning of a great adventure" |
[02:44.89] |
Take a look |
[03:22.12] |
It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick around |
[03:24.77] |
Create in my own image like a god |
[03:27.40] |
I'd raise my own pallbearers to carry me to my grave |
[03:31.19] |
And keep me company when I'm a wizened toothless clod |
[03:34.80] |
Some gibbering old fool sitting all alone drooling on his shirt |
[03:38.49] |
Some senile old fart playing in the dirt |
[03:41.33] |
It might be fun to have a kid I could pass something on to |
[03:45.27] |
Something better than rage, pain, anger and hurt |
[03:49.26] |
I hope it's true what my wife said to me |
[03:52.31] |
I hope it's true what my wife said to me |
[03:55.92] |
I hope it's true what my wife said to me |
[03:59.25] |
She says, "Lou, it's the beginning of a great adventure |
[04:04.65] |
Lou, Lou, Lou, beginning of a great adventure" |
[04:10.25] |
She says, babe, how you call your lover boy |
[04:18.77] |
Sylvia, quite you call your lover man |
