Get up in the morning
Shave and comb your head
Drive down to the office
Without being fed
Answer all the phone calls
And papers you must read
Then drive home in the evening
To get your daily feed
Once in awhile you leave your track
Once in awhile and then right back
Go out on the golf course
Leave your work behind
Hit that little ball around
Or you'll lose your mind
Forget about the problems
And horrors you have known
Worry ruins your golf game
And golf games ruin your home
Emily thought she had something new
Emily thought she was different from you
But she soon learned something different
Emily knew how much she should learn
Wear dark tinted glasses
Even in the night
Protect your little eyeballs
From the burning light
Reading the newspaper
Read just how they die
If your team is losing
Then you know that it's a lie.
