Star Belly

Stephanie Rearick

From butterscotch bubblegum

Green candy apples

and raspberry pie

To mud in your eye,

We do or we die

Slimy brown leeches

and star-bellied sneetches

and snakes with one eye

Whose stakes just got high

with you on top of the hill

singing

I'll do whatever I want

You'll take whatever I got

I'll do whatever

and you'll feel much better

and whether you feel it or not

The cards that you're playing

Their faces keep changing

with whiskey and rye

In the blink of an eye,

Will you or will I?

Rhapsody wavering

symphony quavering

Notes that slide by

Tears that won't dry,

A flood

Run up to the hill

singing

I'll do whatever I want

You'll take whatever I got

I'll do whatever

and you'll feel much better

and whether you feel it or not
