Sorry, you're right. I'm just weird & pronounce spoils with a definite 2 syllables.
The fools pity me
Even they know how to count
Pre-school was scary
Pre-school was scary
Tykes cued up for future roles
Dunce, geek, beauty queen
Dunce, geek, beauty queen,
And I was class clown, sure to
Play jokes on teachers.
Play jokes on teachers,
Laugh at jokes not made by them,
Drive them right insane.
(sheesh, the numbers count out right, but that seems more like a limerick)
Drive them right insane
Them, that mirror the madness
Except on tuesday
Except on Tuesday
Laugh all day long on Friday
Humor makes good sense
humour makes good sense
except at funerals
sing amazing grace
Sing Amazing Grace.
The sound is sweet and redeems
Sins of a sailor
Sins of a sailor
When he is half-seas over?
Sins lead to jail time.
Sins lead to jail time
Repent them while you still can
Live by the right path
Live by the right path
The eightfold way that Buddha
Commended to us.
Commended to us
the neighborhood in Newton
housing is not cheap.
Housing is not cheap
Unless it's a carboard box
Cold in the gutter
Cold in the gutter
The half-eaten hamburger
And congealing fries.
And congealing fries
Oily rancid aftertaste
Assult my senses
Assault my senses
With the perfume of lilies
With the sight of stars.
With the sight of stars
The night is filled with wonder
Fantasies take flight
Fantasies take flight
Reality is fleeting
One foot on the ground
One foot on the ground
One foot in an early grave -
I feel unbalanced.
