[Verse 1]
If you know how to catch a mouse
The world will beat a pathway to your door
But since the first ones found our house
I can appreciate the saying more
I don't know what they expect to find
I don't know, I can't make up my mind
[Verse 2]
They say he's got a special gift
But I don't envy him at all
They started camping in the yard
They've got their ears pressed up against the wall
I don't know how long can this go on
I don't know, how did it last this long?
[Chorus]
Yeah, everybody wants an egg from the golden goose
But no one cares if they're the one who kills the golden goose
Everybody wants an egg from the golden goose
I wonder just how many eggs are in the golden goose?
[Verse 3]
A paparazzi's at the door
He says he's here from People magazine
And there's some lady on the phone
Wants him to advertise designer jeans
I don't know, how long can this go on?
I don't know how did it last so long?
[Chorus]
Yeah, everybody wants an egg from the golden goose
But no one cares if they're the one who kills the golden goose
Everybody wants an egg from the golden goose
I wonder just how many eggs are in the golden goose?
[Refrain]
Yeah, everybody wants an egg from the golden goose
I wonder just how many eggs are in the golden goose?
Are in the golden goose
