Ha. Ha.
JIMMY’S GOT A GIRLFRIEND, JIMMY’S GOT A GIRLFRIEND, JIMMY’S GOT A GIRLFRIEND, JIMMY’S GOT A GIRLFRIEND, JIMMY’S GOT A GIRLFRIEND
Jimmy and Marsha
Sittin’ in a tree.
Kay-I-ess-ess-I-en-gee!
“Jimmy, do you like Marsha?”
“Marsha who?”
“Marsha Jones, stupid!”
“What?!? Her? No. I don’t like no girls except my mom and some who know how to play football.”
“Jimmy?”
“Huh?”
“I like you.”
“Shut up, Marsha.”
“Do you like me?”
“No!”
“When we grow up we’ll get married.”
“No we wont [sic]!”
“Why not?”
“I’m gonna marry Sally Clarke.”
I used to laugh with the love for living
And all the angry young men glared at me.
I used to run and leap and shout for joy
And the angry young men looked disgusted with me.
I used to be happy and handsome and a superman
And the angry young men called me ana**hole.
I used to be rich
And the angry young men despised me.
But now I’m old and ugly and crippled and poor and psychotic
And they worship me as a wise old God.
I guess it’s time to say “Goodbye, Cruel World” and flush myself down the toilet and die.
And I‘d do it except that then I’d become a legend among the Angry Young Men, as an angry old man, the father image.
I’d do something stupid like joining some ridiculous ridiculous religion, except that then all the Angry Holy Young Men would do the same thing.
Jesus H. Christ, What the hell am I gonna do?
