The Valiant Little Tailor
From the bros. Grimm
I know that little guy
I think we all know him
The land of long ago
The noble queen and the shining knight
All the colors of the rainbow
Spring forth from pages
of black and white
I’m reading these tales
Stories as old as the wheel
Some of it is fantasy
But some of it is real
Everyone's a magician
Everyone's a hypnotist
Everyone's casting spells
Everyone's an illusionist
Everyone's an expert
At deception and forgery
Everyone is a master
At their own brand of sorcery
Late to the party
Every single time
I had my head in a hoody
And a purse full of wine
No one’s gonna guess
I’d never know if they did
I was running running gone
Every day I hid
I was determined to have fun
To avoid discipline and strife
I was determined to make up for
The lonely parts of life
Every day was an excessive celebration
Every living in a mental vacation
Every checked out
Every day in denial
The only reason I changed
Was becuz
It got really boring after a while
Sumbuddy texted me and said,
”If you’re in the mood to boogie
You should put off going to bed
And go out and boogie instead!”
but i'm like
Are you kidding me
I'm like a 6 month old baby
I got to get my rest
It's the only way i can do my thing
And really be my best
I will not give in
To the boogie test!
Brew-ha-ha and rendezvous
I speak english and french too
Je parle francais, (frahn-say)
I am on my way
I can't say much now
But someday I'll make you WOW
...with all the frenchified words I'll speak
A philosopher thinks
A titanic ship sinks
An old farmer drinks
And his words are slow
He's lived a thousand lives
But each one now dead
He’s aware of the zombie
Now alive in his head
Around and around
She swept with her broom
Unable to reach the corners
Of her little room
Unable to reach the cracks
To really get inside
Around and around she went
Completely mystified
Monday schmonday,
tip yer hat
eat a pop tart
And pet a cat
Monday schmonday
pay yer dues
punch the time card
sing the blues
Monday schmonday
comb yer hair
throw a tantrum
life’s not fair
Monday schmonday
soon it be
Tuesday Tuneday
again, finally!
(ps I’m gonna rev up Tuesday Tunesday again starting tomorrow but it might be very late in the day that I get a tune up)
