SOON

Listen and buy it at Amazon.

WHEN WILL WE GET THERE?
I GOTTA USE THE BATHROOM
IF WE DON’T FIND A BATHROOM
I’M GONNA BE SICK.
WHY AREN’T WE THERE YET?
I GOTTA STRETCH MY LEGS
IF I DON’T STRETCH MY LEGS
THEY’LL BE PERMANENTLY BENT.

SOON, THEY KEEP SAYING IT, SOON!
SO WHEN IS IT GONNA BE SOON?
WILL IT TAKE UP THE WHOLE AFTERNOON?
SOON, WHEN THEY SAY THAT IT’S SOON,
THEY MEAN SOMETIME NEXT JUNE
I HATE TO WAIT TILL IT’S SOON.

WHEN WILL WE BE THERE?
I NEED A DRINK OF WATER
IF I DON’T GET SOME WATER
I’M GONNA DRY UP.
WHY AREN’T WE THERE YET?
I NEED TO WATCH TV
IF I DON’T WATCH TV
I’M GONNA GO NUTS.

SOON, THEY KEEP SAYING IT, SOON
SO WHEN IS IT GONNA BE SOON?
THEY KEEP SINGING THE SAME OLD TUNE
“SOON”, WHEN THEY SAY THAT IT’S SOON,
THEY MEAN SOMETIME NEXT JUNE
I’LL HAVE GREY HAIR
I’LL BE ON MEDICARE
BY THE TIME WE GET THERE AND IT’S SOON!
