False Pride |
Okay now, listen to this. |
{*sound effect: seagulls* |
A mystical teacher sat by the seaside |
It was about five o’clock cause we heard the free ride |
Anyway; |
the teacher was talking in stride |
Sitting upon a rock that was wide |
And warning against false pride |
«Come to where I reside!» |
a woman cried |
And the teacher replied, «Do you serve your fish fried?» |
«Yes,» she replied, «with potato salad on the side.» |
And the teacher replied, «Well where do you reside?» |
She said, «Up on the hillside, it’s not a far ride. |
If you came to have dinner, I would be so gratified.» |
The teacher replied, «It's six o’clock, seven o’clock, you decide.» |
She replied, «Seven o’clock, do you like stir-fried?» |
She was mystified and felt so dignified |
The teacher was coming to the house where she resides |
So she purified with pesticides |
{*sound effect: chemicals sprayed* |
Called her friends up nationwide |
{*sound effect: phone being dialed* |
Some of her friends were tongue-tied they felt so glorified |
She made steamed fish, baked fish, fish that was fried |
Soup, steamed vegetables, potato salad on the side |
{*sound effect: food cooking* |
You could smell the bread in the oven far and wide |
Natural juices and water purified |
Organic fruits brought from the countryside |
With silver forks and knives placed side by side |
{*sound effect: silverware clinks* |
You could not be dissatisfied; |
Looking out the window staring at the mountainside, |
You would have died |
6:59 she’s swollen with pride |
As the moment intensified, there’s a knock from outside |
{*sound effect: door knocking* |
She opens the door, for the teacher has arrived |
{*sound effect: door creaks open* |
But to her surprise, it was a bum who cried |
«Please, I smelt the bread from outside! |
One piece,» and then she replied |
«The teacher is coming, he’s soon to have arrived. |
You’re making me look bad, come on now, step aside!» |
The bum then replied, |
«When I say I’m hungry I haven’t lied. |
Give me some of that chicken that you just fried.» |
{*sound effect: food cooking* |
She replied, «Chicken — fried? |
No that’s for the teacher, you’re not purified» |
Then she slammed the door and went back inside |
{*sound effect: door closes* |
Sat on the couch with the TV Guide |
She looked at the clock, it was 7:09, then 7:30; |
He still hasn’t arrived |
Eight o’clock, she’s on the downside |
Nine o’clock, by now she’s teary-eyed |
She’s pissed off and her anger multiplied |
She cried, then fell asleep dissatisfied |
Next day she woke up, and was preoccupied |
With meeting the mystical teacher who lied |
Where could he hide? |
She ran down by the seaside |
{*sound effect: seagulls* |
He was there teaching about — false pride |
«You lied!» |
she replied, «You lied! |
You said you’d be there at seven o’clock, you lied!» |
He replied, «No I have not lied. |
I came at 6:59, and you told me to move aside. |
I asked for bread and the chicken that was fried. |
{*sound effect: food cooking* |
And you said, that I wasn’t purified.» |
She replied, «I wasn’t notified! |
I had no idea that you was the bum that cried!» |
And the teacher sighed, then replied, |
«This concludes our lesson on false pride.» |
