Postman Drove A Caddy |
| I know it seemed like a good idea at the time |
| But, darling, I knew there was trouble bound to come |
| The postman drove a Caddy |
| A sunburned green |
| Rusted out land tug of a car |
| It seen to race across the ridge trailin clouds of dust and dogs |
| I knew there was trouble bound to come |
| Now, I saw the fact |
| The driver was a dog |
| The dog had a hat |
| The hat had a flat |
| It looked like a rat |
| The rat was on fire |
| Somehow I knew there was trouble bound to come |
| Now, that fire attracted the eye of a neighbor who |
| Turning away |
| Shook his head as he was heard to say |
| I don’t wanna know why |
| Which confused the pig |
| That ate the mailbox |
| That contained the letter that was lost by the post office for 40 years |
| Happenin to have been written by Albert Einstein |
| Ha! |
| Somehow I knew there was trouble bound to come |
| Now, in his declining years he had designed/devined a device from common |
| household items |
| Which by harnassing hitherto unknown forces in the universe could put a chicken |
| in every pot |
| And make it so that everyone could live a long long time without any trouble at |
| all |
| And in the process savin mankind from certain self-destruction |
| And enabling him to keep going more places forever |
| Mmmm, I knew there was trouble bound to come |
| Now, you understand, that whether or not this device would actually work was a |
| matter of absolute conjecture |
| Seeing as how Mr Einstein had buried the only plans |
| And working model |
| In a hole in the ground |
| I knew there was trouble bound to come |
| It had seemed like a good idea at the time |
| In fact what the letter did say |
| And would the recipient |
| A Mr Tesla |
| Please go out and dig it up right away? |
| But not to worry |
| Cuz even if this self-same letter was to be lost in the post you couldn’t miss |
| the two-foot high Martian standing there who promised to wait and not even |
| budge for 40 years |
| If he had to |
| But then he really had to get going |
| And by the way take him a couple apples |
| Or something |
| Because he really likes fruit |
| Sincerely yours |
| Albert Einstein |
| Somehow I knew there was trouble bound to come |
