Spider Cues, G. Perry - Born Yesterday Lyrics

BORN YESTERDAY
By G. Graham Perry III, Feb 2008

Glad I wasn't born yesterday
Or the day before that.
Cause when I was about half my age
I was a welcome mat.

Now, if you try to walk over me
Or try to roll me flat
You better be about twice the man
And bring along a bat.

(Bridge)
Bad-da-bah-da, ba-dah-ba-dah, ba-dah, ba-dah) (Bad-da-bah-da, ba-dah-ba-dah, ba-dah, ba-dah

Glad I wasn’t born yesterday
Or the day before that.
Cause when I was about half my age
I wore an ensign’s hat.

I watched the water wash over me
While others tapped the vat.
Now, I’m master of the savage sea!
What do you think of that?

(Bridge)

(Solo)

Glad I wasn't born yesterday,
Although my feet are flat.
Everybody just can't believe
I'm grinning like a Cheshire cat.

I'll make a promise to a dying world
I'll simply do the best I can.
And when I'm leaving on the mothership
I'll be headed for the promised land.
