Steve Goodman - Vegematic lyrics
[Steve Goodman - Vegematic lyrics]
Fell asleep last night with the TV on
Oh, what a dream I had i dreamed I went and
Answered every single one
Of those late night mail order ads
And four to six weeks later
Much to my surprise
The mailman came to my front door
And I couldn't believe my eyes
When he brought the Vegematic
And the Pocket Fisherman too
Illuminated illustrated history of life
Boxcar Willie with a Ginzu knife
A bamboo steamer, and a Garden Weasel too
And a tie-dyed
Dayglo souvenir shirt from Six
Flags Over Burbank
Well the doorbell rang all morning
And all through the afternoon
I shook with fright as it rang all night
To the light of the Master Card moon
There was Parcel Post in the pantry
UPS in the hall cOD to the ceiling
And I just couldn't pay for it all
I got the egg scrambler
With a Seal-a-Meal carrying case
A set of presidential commemorative plates
So I could eat my eggs
Off the President's face a Minute Mender
And a needle that'll knit or crochet
And an autographed photograph of Rin Tin Tin
At Six Flags Over Burbank
I remembered I was dreaming
So I gave a mighty cheer
When I awoke, it was no joke
'cause all that shit was here
So if you fall asleep with the TV on
Let me tell you what to do:
Rip the telephone out of the wall unless
You want it to happen to you
You get the Vegematic
And the Pocket Fisherman too
Illuminated illustrated history of life
And Boxcar Willie with a Ginzu knife
A bamboo steamer, and a smokeless ashtray too
And an all expenses paid weekend for
Three at Six Flags Over Burbank
Oh, what a dream I had i dreamed I went and
Answered every single one
Of those late night mail order ads
And four to six weeks later
Much to my surprise
The mailman came to my front door
And I couldn't believe my eyes
When he brought the Vegematic
And the Pocket Fisherman too
Illuminated illustrated history of life
Boxcar Willie with a Ginzu knife
A bamboo steamer, and a Garden Weasel too
And a tie-dyed
Dayglo souvenir shirt from Six
Flags Over Burbank
Well the doorbell rang all morning
And all through the afternoon
I shook with fright as it rang all night
To the light of the Master Card moon
There was Parcel Post in the pantry
UPS in the hall cOD to the ceiling
And I just couldn't pay for it all
I got the egg scrambler
With a Seal-a-Meal carrying case
A set of presidential commemorative plates
So I could eat my eggs
Off the President's face a Minute Mender
And a needle that'll knit or crochet
And an autographed photograph of Rin Tin Tin
