Beginning Of A Great Adventure (Live) Lyrics

 

It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick around

A little me to fill up with my thoughts

A little me or he or she to fill up with my dreams

A way of saying life is not a loss

I'd keep the tyke away from school and tutor him myself

Keep him from the poison of the crowd

But then again pristine isolation might not be the best idea

It's not good trying to immortalize yourself

Beginning of a great adventure

Beginning of a great adventure

Why stop at one I might have ten a regular TV brood

I'd breed a little liberal army in the wood

Just like these redneck lunatics I see at the local bar

With their tribe of mutant inbred piglets with cloven hooves

I'd teach 'em how to plant a bomb start a fire play guitar

And if they catch a hunter shoot him in the nuts

I'd try to be as progressive as I could possibly be

As long as I don't have to try too much

Beginning of a great adventure

Beginning of a great adventure

Susie Jesus Bogart Sam Leslie Jill and Jeff

Rita Winny Andy Fran and Jet

Boris Bono Lucy Ethel Bunny Reg and Tom

That's a lot of names to try not to forget

Carrie Marlon Mo and Steve La Rue and Jerry Lee

Eggplant Rufus Dummy Star and The Glob

I'd need a d**n computer to keep track of all these names

I hope this baby thing don't go too far

I hope it's true what my wife said to me

I hope it's true what my wife said to me hey

I hope it's true what my wife said to me

She says Baby it's the beginning of a great adventure

Babe beginning of a great adventure

Take a look

It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick around

Create in my own image like a god

I'd raise my own pallbearers to carry me to my grave

And keep me company when I'm a wizened toothless clod

Some gibbering old fool sitting all alone drooling on his shirt

Some senile old fart playing in the dirt

It might be fun to have a kid I could pass something on to

Something better than rage pain anger and hurt

I hope it's true what my wife said to me

I hope it's true what my wife said to me

I hope it's true what my wife said to me

She says Lou it's the beginning of a great adventure

Lou Lou Lou beginning of a great adventure

She says babe how you call your lover boy

 

Sylvia quite you call your lover man
