At times like these when enemies can number more than friends,

A friend inded is what I need, not someone who pretends.

I'm on my way, I cannot stay another day.

You're such a pain. Must I explain my every meaning to you?

It's such a drag the way you nag at me and make me feel blue.

I'm on my way, I cannot stay another day.

You're so pusillanimous, oh yea. Nature's calling and I

must go there.

A glass of wine with Gertrude Stein I know I'll never share.

But I don't mind. That's just the kind of cross each man must bear.

I'm on my way, I cannot stay another day.

Another day. I know the say that all the world's a stage.

I'll play the fool, but as a rule, I'd rather act my age.

I'm on my way, I cannot stay another day. (3 times)
