Well, I saw a lot of trees today and they were all made of wood. |
|
They were wooden trees and they were made entirely of wood. |
|
I came home today and you were all on fire. |
|
Your shirt was on fire, and your hair was on fire, |
|
And flames were licking all around your feet. |
|
And I did not know what to do! |
|
And then a thousand violins began to play, |
|
And I really did not know what to do then. |
|
So I just decided to go out and walk the dog. |
|
I went to the movies, and I saw a dog thirty feet high. |
|
And this dog was made entirely of light. |
|
And he filled up the whole screen. |
|
And his eyes were long hallways. |
|
He had those long, echoing, hallway eyes. |
|
I turned on the radio and I heard a song by Dolly Parton. |
|
And she was singing: |
|
Oh! I feel so sad! I feel so bad! |
|
I left my mom and I left my dad. |
|
And I just want to go home now. |
|
I just want to go back in my Tennessee mountain home now. |
|
Well, you know she's not gonna go back home. |
|
And I know she's not gonna go back home. |
|
And she knows she's never gonna go back there. |
|
And I just want to know who's gonna go and walk her dog. |
|
Oh! I feel so bad. I feel so sad. |
|
But not as bad as the night I wrote this song. |
|
Close your eyes! (OK) |
|
Now imagine you're at the most wonderful party. (OK) |
|
Delicious food. (Uh huh.) |
|
Interesting people. (Mm hmm.) |
|
Terrific music. (Mn hmmh.) |
|
Now open them! (Oh no.) |
|
Well, I just want to go home now and walk the dog. |
