Well, whoop-de-do!
I have been around the block before
With
blockheads just like you
Each and ev'ryone a disappointment
Pain for which there ain't no
ointment
So much fo excuses
Though a kid of Zeus' is
Asking me to jump into the
fray
My answer is two words--
O.K.
You win
Oh gods
Oy vay!
I'd given up hope
that someone would come along
A fellow who'd ring the bell for once--
Not the gong
The
kind who win trophies
Won't settle for low fees
At least semi-pro fees
But no--I get the
green horn
I've been out to pasture
pal, my ambition gone
Content to spend lazy days and
to graze
my lawn
But you need an advisor
A satyr, but wiser
A good
merchandiser
And ohh!
There goes my ulcer!
I'm down to one last hope
And I hope it's
you
Though, kid, you're not exactly
A dream come true
I've trained enough
turkeys
Who never came through
You're my one last hope
So you'll have to do
Demigods
have faced the odds
And ended up a mockery
Don't believe the stories
That you read on
all the crockery
To be a true hero, kid, is
a dying art
Like painting a
masterpiece,
it's a work of heart
It takes more than sinew
Come down to what's in
you
You have to continue
To grow
Now that's more like it!
I'm down to one last
shot
And my last high note
Before that blasted
Underworld
Gets my goat
My dreams
are on you, kid
Go make them come true
Climb that uphill slope
Keep pushing that
envelope
You're my one last hope
And, kid, it's up to you | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
