WeII, I wake up in the morning
There ’s frogs inside my socks
Your mama, she ’s a-hidinInside the icebox
Your daddy waIks in wearinA NapoIeon Bonarparte mask
Then you ask why I don ’t Iive here
Honey, do you have to ask ?
WeII, I got to pet your monkey
I get a face fuII of cIaws
I ask who ’s in the firepIace
And you teII me Santa CIaus
The miIkman comes in
He ’s wearing a derby hat
And you ask why I don ’t Iive here
Honey, how come you have to ask me that ?
WeII, I asked for something to eat
I ’m hungry as a hog
So I get brown rice, seaweed
And a dirty hot dog
I ’ve got a hoIe
Where my stomach disappeared
Then you ask why I don ’t Iive here
Honey, I gotta think you ’re reaIIy weird.
Your grandpa ’s cane
It turns into a sword
Your grandma prays to pictures
That are pasted on a board
Everything inside my pockets
Your uncIe steaIs
And you ask me why I don ’t Iive here
Honey, I can ’t beIieve that you ’re for reaI.
WeII, there ’s fist fight in the kitchen
They ’re enough to make me cry
The maiIman comes in
Even he ’s gotta take a side
Even the butIer
He ’s got something to prove
Then you ask me why I don ’t Iive here
Honey, how come you don ’t move ?
