lyrics

I'M FUN

I was picking all these roses for my friends

when a lady approached me with apprehension

she said, 'little man, you are on my property,

and you are stealing my beautiful red roses from me'

I said 'I just need a bunch more and I'll be done

Here's one for Bobby and one for Allison'

She said, 'I'll notify the police if you won't leave'

And I said 'Oh, look another big one just for me'

I'm fun!
I'm fun!
I'm fun!
I'm fun!

I was shouting just outside a children's school

when I was asked if I could find something better to do

I said 'Why are all the children locked inside?

Shouldn't they be as free as we to live a life?'

They said, 'There are too many dangers in the world,

so we lock the doors to protect the boys and girls'

I said 'I am free and I am not afraid'

And I got back in my van and drove away

I'm fun!

I was carving Springsteen lyrics into the hood of a strangers car

when I heard him holler harshly as he exited a bar

now I wasn't in the mood for some unpleasant confrontation

so like a saint I plucked and pocketed both his parking violations

then I hopped a friendly fence and found a pool with no one in it

disrobed myself completely as I was unprepared for swimming

no offense to the purveyor but chlorine affects my skin

so I grabbed some baking power from the fridge and rubbed it in

& when a little child approached from either the dining room or den

& asked if I was santa or the tooth fairy or the grinch

I winked and put a finger to the side of my powdered nose

and danced off to the backyard to retrieve all of my clothes

I'm fun!
