Lyrics Checkers Speech - The Mr. T Experience

Checkers Speech

Once upon a time life was sweet and everything was fine
Each day was like a triumph of the will
And every night was even better still
Now, suddenly, you don’t want to do it anymore
Nothing I could say would change your mind
I watched you walk away and screamed and whined
It was worth a try
Though I can’t deny
It’s a weak reply
And there’s never gonna be another other way to say goodbye
Once I had a dog, a little puppy dog who was my friend
I almost lost hope when he went away
Kind of like what’s happening today
But let’s face it kid, you never were that kind of friend at all
You were never there to catch me when I faltered
Or needed to be laundered, pressed, and altered
Still it seems to me
We should wait and see
But you don’t agree
And if that’s the way you want it I know that’s the way it’s gotta be
And now there’s only one thing left to say
Thought it’s been said before
«You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore»
