John T. Wurzer - GOOSE Lyrics

Goose and Gander

A lively romance in the middle of the swamp
Lit up by the autumn moon as they romped
Leaves turning colors like the dancing of fire
At a campsite lit up with teenage desire
They got lost in each other without losing themselves
Took pictures of ex-lovers off of their shelves
Were married in the spring by the Keebler elves
And vowed to honor, love and inspire
He said, Excuse me, may I inquire

The goose found a job with a corporate crew
The gander got lucky and he found one too
They made themselves a nest near a peaceful lake
Dreaming about all the love that they'd make
The gander would hurry home every night
Tidy the love nest and leave on the light
The goose would call, and say, Hey, let's not fight
I'll be out at the bar until eight
He said, Can you clear up one thing while I wait

If that's what's good for the goose is it good for the gander
Can I follow the golden rule, or is it double standard
You're out there painting the town while I'm painting our family room
Life used to be so black and white, now it's an eerie shade of blue
Seems you have to do unto others, if you don't want it to be done to you

The anniversary of their wedding day
Came for the fifth time yesterday
He sent roses. She sent a plant
He wrote, "I love you". She wrote, I can't
She called him at work to say thanks for the flowers
And to tell him she was stopping off at happy hour
He misunderstood, went home and took a shower
He thought she left early to be with him
While his heart kept singing this hymn

If that's what's good for the goose is it good for the gander
Can I follow the golden rule, or is it double standard
You're out there painting the town while I'm painting our family room
Life used to be so black and white, now it's an eerie shade of blue
Seems you've got to do unto others, if you don't want it to be done to you
