I AM YOURS

I am yours, I am your eyes and lips
I am yours until the rhinocerous slips
He trips and he flips. He says, “I’m tired of being vegan.
It’s just much too fatiguin’.”
I am yours, I am your eyes and lips
I am yours until the elephant finds
It’s time to streamline
He says, “Once I’m rid of this trunk,
It’ll take some weight off my mind.”
I’m a somersault in the summertime.
I’m a salty dog, I’m a bird on the line.
Tell me what more did the little bird say.
I am yours, I am your eyes and lips
I am yours until the Bloods and the Crips
Pick up their pink slips, put on their wingtips
And deep six the Apocalypse
I am yours, I am your eyes and lips
I am yours until River Phoenix and Charlie Sheen
Say they’re finally clean
No more crack, no methedrine
We’ve seen the light, we’re Nazarene
I’m a somersault in the summertime.
I’m a salty dog, I’m a bird on the line.
Tell me what more did the little bird say.
I am yours, I am your eyes and lips
I am yours till the rattlesnake drops his tail,
Says, “I’m so rattled, it’s for sale.
Every time I give a shake, it’s like my neck is gonna break.”
I am yours, I am your eyes and lips
I am yours till poor Rudolph the Reindeer
Says it’s time for some headgear.
“You wonder why it glows.
I’ll tell you: The goddam thing is froze!”
I’m a somersault in the summertime.
I’m a salty dog, I’m a bird on the line.
Tell me what more did the little bird say.
