Lou reed - beginning of a great adventure
It might be fun to have a kid that i could kick around
a little me to fill up with my thoughts
a little me or he or she to fill up with my dreams
a way of saying life is not a loss
Iand'd keep the tyke away from school and tutor him myself
keep him from the poison of the crowd
but then again pristine isolation might not be the best idea
itand's not good trying to immortalize yourself
Beginning of a great adventure
beginning of a great adventure
Why stop at one, i might have ten, a regular tv brood
iand'd breed a little liberal army in the wood
just like these redneck lunatics i see at the local bar
with their tribe of mutant inbred piglets with cloven hooves
Iand'd teach and'em how to plant a bomb, start a fire, play guitar
and if they catch a hunter, shoot him in the nuts
iand'd try to be as progressive as i could possibly be
as long as i donand't have to try too much
Beginning of a great adventure
beginning of a great adventure
Susie, jesus, bogart, sam, leslie, jill and jeff
rita, winny, andy, fran and jet
boris, bono, lucy, ethel, bunny, reg and tom
thatand's a lot of names to try not to forget
Carrie, marlon, mo and steve, la rue and jerry lee
eggplant, rufus, dummy, star and the glob
iand'd need a damn computer to keep track of all these names
i hope this baby thing donand't go too far
I hope itand's true what my wife said to me
i hope itand's true what my wife said to me, hey
i hope itand's true what my wife said to me
She says, andquot;baby, itand's the beginning of a great adventureandquot;
andquot;babe, beginning of a great adventureandquot;
take a look
It might be fun to have a kid that i could kick around
create in my own image like a god
iand'd raise my own pallbearers to carry me to my grave
and keep me company when iand'm a wizened toothless clod
Some gibbering old fool sitting all alone drooling on his shirt
some senile old fart playing in the dirt
it might be fun to have a kid i could pass something on to
something better than rage, pain, anger and hurt
I hope itand's true what my wife said to me
i hope itand's true what my wife said to me
i hope itand's true what my wife said to me
she says, andquot;lou, itand's the beginning of a great adventureandquot;
andquot;lou, lou, lou, beginning of a great adventureandquot;
she says, andquot;babe, how you call your lover boyandquot;
andquot;sylvia, quite you call your lover manandquot;
