My Idea #49

I am a free-thinking man

With an able-bodied mind

All those great ideas you like?

Oh, those are all mine.

They just come to me

Like a magnetic force

What else would they do?

I came up with magnets, of course

Believe it or not (I know you don’t believe it)

I pitched the Bible

And I cut the deal

Wrote it down in a book to make it

Seem more real

But invisible ink

And a broken link

The proof’s all gone but story goes

On and on and on and on

Believe it or not

Believe it or not (I know you don’t believe it)

Believe it or not—nobody gives credit where credit is due anymore

It was my idea

My idea

It was all my idea

Believe it or not

And the best part of the day to me

Is the moment that you say to me

“Got another one of those

Million-dollar ideas

Again today?

What do you say?”

What DO you say?

 

You got me to thank but then you

Say I lack modesty

You can take that to the bank

I come by it honestly

Believe it or not (I know you don’t believe it)

Believe it or not (I know you don’t believe in it)

Believe it or not—nobody gives credit where credit is due anymore

The book of love

Fingerless gloves

Tantric sex

The new Ford Flex

Exposed kitchen beams

Clothes without seams

Sleep without dreams

(Whatever that means)

The Brooklyn Bridge

Choctaw Ridge

Advise and consent

Loitering with intent

Trigonometry

Plain monotony

Chicken ala king

Almost everything

Was my idea

My idea

It was all my idea

Believe it or not
