Lyrics

You surely are a truly gifted kid But you're only good as The last great thing you did And where have you been since then Did the schedule get you down? I hear you've got a new girlfriend How's the wife taking it? If it's uphill all the way You should be used to it by now You must know me Father it's your son And I know that you are proud Of everything I've done But it's the wonders I perform Pulling rabbits out of hats When sometimes I'd prefer Simply to wear them If it's uphill all the way You should be used to it and say My back is broad enough, sir To take the strain and it's Hello mother, it's your son And aren't you proud Of all I've done But I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free And I can't breakdance on your knee But it's stay right there son, baby do While I is itchin for something new So watch me hawkeye and understand The force of will, the sleight of hand Movin the river I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free Movin the river And I can't breakdance on your knee Movin the river Bucket by spoon And do you think that they'll like me When they learn what I? Movin the river Money for jam But it takes such an effort to stay where I am...
