Illegal Smile
In the style of
Lyrics
when i woke up
this mornin'
things were
lookin' bad
seemed like
total silence
was the only friend
i had
a bowl of oatmeal
tried to stare me down
and won
and it was
twelve o'clock
before i realized
i was havin' no fun
ah but fortunately
i have the key
to escape reality
and you may
see me tonight
with an illegal smile
it don't cost
very much
but it lasts
a long while
won't you please
tell the man
i didn't kill anyone
no i'm just tryin'
to have me some fun
the last time
i checked my bankroll
it was gettin' thin
sometimes it seems
like the bottom
is the only place
i been
i chased a rainbow
down a one-way street
dead-end
and all my friends
turned out to be
insurance salesmen
ah but fortunately
i have the key
to escape reality
and you may
see me tonight
with an illegal smile
it don't cost
very much
but it lasts
a long while
won't you please
tell the man
i didn't kill anyone
no i'm just tryin'
to have me some fun
well i sat down
in my closet
with all my overalls
tryin' to
get away from
all the years
inside my walls
i dreamed the police
heard everything
i thought
what then
well i went to court
and the judges name
was hoffman
ah but fortunately
i have the key
to escape reality
and you may
see me tonight
with an illegal smile
it don't cost
very much
but it lasts
a long while
won't you please
tell the man
i didn't kill anyone
no i'm just tryin'
to have me some fun
well done
hot dog bun
my sister's a nun
