The whole family
Gathered at Gramps' funeral.
Wow, did we party!
Wow, did we party!
'Til all the beer kegs were drained,
Just like our IQs.
Just like our IQs,
our sense of reality
increases with age.
Increases with age
- Wrinkles, aches, indigestion;
But also wisdom.
But also wisdom,
Be it hind-, in-, or fore-sight,
Must be learned alone.
Must be learned alone
Pronouncing Cantonesem tones
They hurt the eardrums
They hurt the eardrums
the cries of the hungry ones
I turn the channel.
I turn the channel
And I'm engulfed in a wave
Of sound and fury.
Of sound and fury
Another Blitzkrieg rages
We all need shelter
We all need shelter
For anvils fall from the sky
And oh! They do hurt.
And oh! They do hurt
Those rotten eggs in your face,
Onions in the eye.
Onions in the eye
Sting like bees at the dumb guy
Who pokes at their hive.
Who pokes at their hive?
Who disturbs their glad buzzing?
Who steals the honey?
Who steals the honey?
Why, Pooh steals it of course! And
Piglet just looks on.
Piglet just looks on
Because he's only a small
Animal, not brave.
Animal, not brave
Human, not as smart as we
Tend to think we are.
Tend to think we are
God's gift to creation, but
Lemurs don't agree.
Lemurs don't agree
With anything that suggests
They are not the best.
They are not the best
Children in the world, I know.
But hell, I love them!
But hell, I love them!
Those exquisite colors of
A double rainbow.
