Our Athletic Friends - Boats

And all our houseboats are retired

So we rely on rental cars and new shoes

And our athletic friends we’ll depend on able backs and healthy legs in the

morning

But our anthems are no longer fashionable

I’d start speaking Spanish if the day so demanded

So pull out all the teeth I don’t need

And censor all the books I don’t read

Woke up Sunday with a headache

Put on your mittens for Christ sake

We’re making gift baskets for our enemies

Full of vacuum bags and dead fruit trees

Our halos are only hula hoops

We pulled them off for the lions to jump through

So pull out all the teeth I don’t need

And censor all the books I don’t read
