LIGHT-HEARTED, LIGHT-HEADED

SUMMER IS FADING

I'M CONFIGURATING

I HAVE A WEEK OFF

BE KIND NOW, DON'T SCOFF

I'M FEELING LIGHT-HEARTED

I BELIEVE I JUST FARTED

MY KIDS CLEAR THE ROOM

FOLLOWING MY SONIC BOOM

I'M GROWING SO WEARY
OF BEING UNCHEERY
IT'S NOW GETTING COOLER
TIME TO BE A TOM-FOOLER

I WANT TO BE SILLY

AND ACT WILLY-NILLY

LOOK UP IN THE AIR

POUR WATER ON HAIR

FOR JUST THIS ONE WEEK

I DON'T WANT TO BE DEEP

BEGONE, SANITIZED!

MAKE ME SIMPSONIZED!

I LONG TO RETURN
TO A TIME WHEN I'D BURN
MY FRIENDS WITH BAD JOKES
GOOD FRIENDS ALL, GREAT BLOKES

WE'D LAUGH, THEM AND ME

PLAYING CARDS UNTIL 3

AIR GUITAR WITH THE BEE GEES

STAYIN' ALIVE, HEEBIE GEEBIES

THE PLANET CAN BE A FORBODING PLACE
ITS STATE OF AFFAIRS, ITS BREAK-NECK PACE
BUSH AND BIN LADEN, IRAQ AND IRAN
FOR ALL I CARE, MOVE TO AFGHANISTAN

AND IT'S THERE I WOULD DROP MY BIG, BAD BOMB

A LAUGHTER GAS NUKE, BA-DA-BING, BA-DA-BONG

TO GET YOU ALL GIDDY AND GOOFY AND GOOD

AND DROP YOUR RELIGION AND OIL IN THE 'HOOD

THE GLOBE USED TO BE A HAPPIER PLACE

WE'VE LOST OUR HUMOUR AND HAPPY FACE

IT'S TIME WE GOT BACK TO OUR SNICKERING WAYS

LEST WE ALL GO DOWN IN A BURNING BLAZE

SO FOR THIS COMING FREEDOM WEEK

I WON'T FOCUS ON THE FREAKS

I JUST WANT TO JOKE AND ENJOY LIFE

AND STAY ABOVE THE CRAP AND STRIFE

MY GOAL IS SIMPLE, TO THE CORE
I WANT TO REVISIT MY OWN LORE
RECAPTURE MY OWN LIFE AS KID
BE WHO I WAS AND WHAT I DID

OF COURSE I AM AN ADULT NOW

I'M OVER 50, BOW-WOW-WOW

THAT'S OK, I WILL SURVIVE

I JUST WANT TO FEEL ALIVE

SO WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN TO ME?
HOLY SMOKES AND GOLLY GEE
THE ONLY WAY'S TO SMILE AND GRIN
LETTING KIDDING, TEASING, GOODNESS IN

I WANT TO LAUGH AND JOKE AND SUCH

THAT'S NOT ASKING FOR TOO MUCH

WITH ALL THE SHIT THAT'S GOING DOWN

IT'S A WASTE OF TIME TO HAVE A FROWN.

I'm a natural tease and I have a goofy sense of humour. It's what keeps me sane, and I need to focus on it more.

What makes you smile these days and keep you from focusing on the stuff that is going on around you?
