COOL DINO COAT

H O W E DOUBLE L D A W D Y that's who I'll be til I die

H O W E DOUBLE L D A W D Y that's who I'll be til I die

It's easy to remember my name it's HOWELL DAWDY, just think howdy doody but switch the first D Y with an E and two LLs and remember Ooh goes to Aah in the second name like Doo Dah it's easy

I feel a pure jolt of joy in my heart when a ray of sunlight hits my skin
I know what I want and I dig in
I enjoy watching TV with a woman
and I love a day where you just stay in bed
and count all the things you could also be doin

Like jogging around with other people on a track
or taking that stack of library books back
Instead I drew a weird face on this old phone jack
and I made this really cool dinosaur coat with furry spines all up the back

But it's too crowded for me to express myself in this world
But it's too crowded for me to express myself in this world
But it's too crowded for me to express myself in this world
It's too crowded.

I'm writing a musical that's Showgirls meets the Illiad
I wrote a 200 page dissertation on Queensryche's middle period
I write shoot and edit all these stupid howdy doody vids
& I've organized all my emojis by both color and seriousness

but at least I'm not wasting my time by going to the doctor
or thinking about what all those online courses might have to offer
I'm just working on a puzzle that you can eat as a snack
and I made this really cool dinosaur coat with furry spines all up the back

I direct a monthly reenactment of The Neverending Story
& we rotate all the parts just to keep it from getting boring
I've got 74 hours of stock audio I've been storing
that I keep just in case I wanna know more about flag restoring

I could open a magic shop with just the stuff that's on my bed right now
I celebrate Xmas year round in a shack only I know about
let's face it most everyone's either a sucker or a hack
and I built this cool dinosaur coat with furry spines up the back

It's too cold outside
it's too hot in here
there's too many distractions
I'm sleeping too much I think
There's too many rules
And there's too much freedom
Oh you want me to pay to park here
the economy's doing something, I don't get it
To be honest I'm not nuts about this survey, do you have a different one I could take?
Everyone loves cars, no one loves traffic
rabbits look sad to me all the time
