Did I Step On Your Trumpet
Oh no!
Did I step on your trumpet
Or did I lump
Lump them in with you?
(Did he step on your trumpet
Or did he lump?)
I put your name on the ballot
'Cause you should run
Though you don't want to
(He put your name on the ballot
Thought you should run)
I been called the wet blanket
By cranks who I outrank
With no thanks
Who do not have a clue
Yes, I know how to be quiet
Just one more thing
I made you something
(He thinks he knows how to be quiet
Made you something)
I wrote for you a lovely sonnet
'Bout two great friends
Yours truly and you
How
I try
To relate
With
My shipmates
Then I just start blurting out the first thing my mind
How'm I looking in your frilly bonnet
With a diamond on it?
I guess I better go
(How's he looking in your frilly bonnet
With a diamond on it?)
I'm a people magnet
When I wear your jacket
Good luck getting this
Pleasing people
Is so predictable
We love you now
Then stab you how many
Times I obsess
And am making a mess
Failing to impress you
In all that I can't do
Would you take care of my pet parrot
And feed him, please?
He speaks less than me
(Would you take care of his pet parrot
And kill him, please?)
You speak so much about my casket
My body basket
Did I do something wrong?
(You speak so much about his casket
His body basket)
The landfill shall be home to you
All my ships
Sailing relations
Have finally found
Who I am made out be
Me and free
of
Pleasing people
Is so predictable
We love you now
Then stab you how many
Times I obsess
And am making a mess
Failing to impress you
In all that I can't
Be just who you're made to be
Papa is so mighty please with thee
