Mindin' my own beeswax
Vеggin' before the tubе
Until I felt a hand across my back
I spun around so fast
I broke a leg off my chair
To nothin' there
Just a voice raisin' my hair
I said, "You! I really ought to pop ya

Is proppin' up your feet
While you watch another soap
That stuff ain't far from real you know
The truth be told
They probably got their story
From your neighbor next door"

Shouters and the dancers
