We Can Have The Olympics Over At Our House |
Everybody’s gonna boycott |
Not a country’s gonna come |
If they have games at all there be goin' some |
For the Russians have decided |
That they do not like L. A. |
Well, I could have told them that |
I say it fifty times a day |
But there is no need to panic |
And there is no need to cry |
We’ll be running, jumping, tumbling children by and by |
Did you think a little boycott |
Would put good times in the soup |
Did ya feel that hope was gone |
And could feel the party poop |
We can have the Olympics over at our house |
If we use our heads it wouldn’t be so hard |
Put the athletes on a bus |
And bring ‘em over to us |
We’ll fire a gun and run ‘em around the yard |
We can have the Olympics over at our house |
There’ll be room for all if no one’s gonna be there |
And the fella with the torch |
Bring it over to porch and |
We’ll hang it up and show the world we care |
There’s a basket in the driveway |
Where the kids have always played |
A treat for acrobats that even provides some shade |
If the whole world’s gonna boycott |
If the whole world stays at home |
You can come on over to our house |
We’ll have a good time on our own |
We can have the Olympics over at our house |
If we use our heads I know we’ll have a ball |
We have a pool above the ground |
We think it’s the nicest one around |
If we shorten the races we can have ‘em all |
Come on and have the Olympics over at our house |
We can bake and sweat and get a medal or two |
Grandma says she’ll hold the clock |
While they run around the block |
That’s about the limit of what grandma can do |
If we have the Olympics over at our house |
We can have the whole caboodle on TV |
For a neighbour down the street |
Has a video that’s a treat |
If we mention his name he’ll lend the thing to me |
Come on and have the Olympics over at our house |
We’ll release a couple of pigeons and fire a gun |
We could run a race or two |
Then we’ll have some barbecue |
Don’t you know we’re gonna have a lot of fun |
And as an honorary starter |
We’ve invited Jimmy Carter |
Don’t you know we’re gonna have a lot of fu |
