Andy’s Song

Lyrics

I ride my bike to work every morning I ring my bell, (ding ding!) and make sure my helmet's tight At every turn, I issue a warning; This arm is for left, and this arm is for right! At the red light, a Toyota pulls beside me The pretty woman inside gives a smile! That happy grin is enough to provide me With total satisfaction for a long, long while! And I don't have a car because of pollution! So completely not 'cause I'm much too scared to drive! I've gotten pretty far in my evolution And I don't need a lot to be totally alive! I tuck my polo shirt in my Levi's 'Cause it looks SHARP! Okay? And it makes me feel secure How come every person I receive tries to tell me I need "something more"? I mean, come on, what for?! I don't need a girlfriend, I got a goldfish! She needs my attention, 'cause she is nearly five! I don't have a secret dream, or some bold wish And I don't need a lot to be totally alive! I'm fine with what I've got, I feel totally alive! I got a Captain Kirk action figure, in the original packaging I've had since I was ten, it's true! I'd never open it or shake it, too afraid I'd break it! I've had self-control since way back then Got a sweet one-bedroom pad, and a loving widowed dad Posters signed by Mazzy Star, World of Warcraft, Avatar! 40 years of moving at a constant speed There's nothing else I really need And you may think that I want more than I let on But I'm really fine, so no need to be appalled I'm this way by choice, and what you can bet on- -is I'll keep moving forward, the opposite of stalled And I don't have a car, 'cause they're overrated! I don't have a girlfriend, and somehow, I've survived! Still, I've gotten crazy far And just as I've stated, I mean what I've said "I feel totally alive!" Sure as the helmet's on my head I feel totally alive! I'm the opposite of dead! I feel totally alive! Doo doo, doo doo, doo!
