Beginning Of A Great Adventure lyrics
by Reed Lou



It might be great to have a kid that I could kick arounda little me to fill up with thoughtsA little me or he or she to fill up with my dreamsa way of saying life is not a lossI'd keep the tyke away from schooland tutor him myselfkeep him from the poison of the crowdBut then again pristine isolationmight not be the best ideaIt's not good trying to immortalize yourselfWhy stop at one, I might have ten, a regular TV broodI'd breed a little liberal army in the woodsJust like these redneck lunaticsI see at the local barwith their tribe of mutant inbred piglets with cloven hoovesI'd teach them how to plant a bomb, start a fire, play guitarand if they catch a hunter, shoot him in the nutsI'd try to be as progressive as I could possibly beas long as I didn't have to try too muchSusie, Jesus, Bogart, SamLeslie, Jill and JeffRita, Winny, Andy, Fran and JetBoris, Bono, Lucy, EthelBunny, Reg and Tomthat's a lot of names to try not to forgetCarrier, Marlon, Mo and SteveLa Rue and Jerry LeeEggplant, Rufus, Dummy, Star and The GlobI'd need a damn computer to keep track of all these namesI hope this baby thing don't go too farHey I hope it's true what my wife said to meShe says, baby, it's the Beginning of a Great AdventureIt might be fun to have a kid that I could kick aroundcreate in my own image like a godI'd raise my own pallbearers to carry me to my graveand keep me company when I'm a wizened toothless clodSome gibbering old fool sitting all alonedrooling on his shirtsome senile old fart playing in the dirtIt might be fun to have a kid I could pass something on tosomething better than rage, pain, anger and hurtI hope it's true what my wife said to meShe says Lou, it's the Beginning of a Great Adventure
