The kid who couldn’t wait to grow
he dreamt he’d shave and have a wife
he’d get a job and start a life
Don’t blame the kid, he didn’t know
He always pictured muscles on him
and some improvement down below
An astronaut, that’s what he will be
He’ll make a “leap” and be the show
then prove for all from up above
that rainbow’s just a candy bow
then lick it clean and show the world
Don’t blame the kid, he didn’t know
After a while he came to realize
A surgeon is the way to go
he would cure cancer while on breakfast
and laugh at death and ask for mo’
then he’ll reject the Nobel Prize
to fight with his immortal foe
Don’t blame the kid, he didn’t know
Then life came up and slapped him twice
And woke him up while on the row
to get a check of unemployment
Don’t pity him, it’s not that low !!
At least right now he’d see through life
and tell you what he just did know !!
