Answer |
| Year after year |
| though every dream of a pony would end in tears |
| the cake was lit and as you blew the candles out |
| your heart refilled |
| and every year |
| your dream was killed |
| it may take an ocean of whiskey and time |
| to wash all of the letdown out of your mind |
| and this may not be the thing you requested but I am the answer to all your prayers |
| all this time interested agents have been eavesdropping upstairs |
| when will you recognize that I am the answer to all your prayers |
| you ordered well |
| they brought you medium rare |
| you were promised fair |
| and in response a clap of thunder broke the air |
| the weather changed |
| the sky went black |
| and then it rained |
| it may take an ocean of whiskey and time |
| to wash all of the letdown out of your mind |
| and this may not be the item you selected but I am the answer to all your prayers |
| all this time the surveillance machine has been all up in your affairs |
| when will you realize that I am the answer to all your prayers |
| it might seem like a thankless existence |
| but don’t lose hope just yet |
| you’ll be remembered for your persistence |
| and this is the thanks you get |
| you wanted tall |
| I came in under 5'4″ |
| then you asked for dark |
| I tend to sunburn a lot |
| as for handsome well |
| can’t help you there |
| so make of it what you will |
| it may take an ocean of whiskey and time |
| to wash all of the letdown out of your mind |
| and I may not be the one you expected but I am the answer to all your prayers |
| all this time interested agents have been eavesdropping upstairs |
| when will you get that I am the answer to all your prayers |
| all this time the surveillance machine has been all up in your affairs |
| it should be clear to you by now that I am the final answer to all your prayers |
