psst...psst...hey kid...ya want a tagline? .......c'mon... they're yummy...
-------------------------------------------------------------
I bought a tagline the other day,
only ate half, was gonna throw the rest away,
when I saw this kid, playin in the street,
I said hey kid, ya want somethin to eat?
he said huh?
I said tagline, son, and he started to scream,
and I'm standin, watchin him go,
half a pound of tagline
runnin through my fingers.
Well, the kid comes back in a minute or two,
he's got his ma with him, and the neighbors too,
they got the kid scared, it's plain to see...
they say which one done it?
he points at me
and says HIM !
I say wadda ya mean
and he says YOU! and he starts to scream
...and I'm standin...
and everybody lookin,
everybody starin
at me..
I say howdy doodie folks...
y'all waitin for the bus
must be a little late...
anybody got a watch?
we can see how late it is...
I got a better idea...
let's find somebody with a watch
and stare at them!
Well, some start pickin up baseball bats,
and others are pullin the pins from their hats...
I think this thing's gone over the line..
hell, I only offered him a tagline...
I said WAIT. I said WHAT YOU DOIN ???
they said preevert, the kid's life is ruined !
and I said well, hell...
you better check what he's chewin...
'cause I've gotta feelin he's in the middle of a tagline orgy..
well, they're comin at me,
and I'm backin away,
and then I hear a policeman say -
"Are you positive he's the right man?"
I quick flipped the tagline out of my hand...
He said "show me"
I said "show you what?"
He said "the tagline, degenerate!"
...and he grabbed me.
he grabbed both my hands...
pretty easy to see...
which hands got the tagline?...
well, I've had some trouble, times before,
but none like the trip to the tagline store,
I sympathize with the kid, alright...
(if someone's nice to him... prolly ain't right),
I'll grow up...
I'll learn the ways..
I'll learn so that my later days are prosperous.
Tagline covered.
If'n I don't bite off
more than I can hide.
