I replaced your favorite dollar with a paper IOU.
I did break your favorite dish
Because the ground came up too soon
And you should want to take away this job from me,
But you just hand me the fruit of today saying
"Go home, girl, and get some sleep
Your eyes look tired
But you'll make a fine little worker
And you try so hard
And I know you would help me catch
Any burglar in the room."
I replaced my favorite partner
With a nineteen-pound feline.
We don't go on grand adventures,
Instead we stay home and lay in the sunshine.
But every time I lock the door
I always play the same CD,
And every time I lay on the floor
Somewhere around track number thirteen
My eyes get tired,
I let yours do the work for me.
I cat nap on the couch,
Dream my way into your favorite mini series.
So raise your eyes boy,
This time you know your name's familiar.
And raise your arm, boy,
This time you know you have the answer.
You have the answer.
