Listen Fred I've had it
You make me
so darn mad
Think I'm dressed for
Halloween
You think this dress looks
bad?
Remember that most special
day
Thirty years ago
You took me to a
basement sale
I couldn't wait to
go
You told me I could
pick a dress
Then you showed me
this
Thought that you were kidding
You
said it couldn't miss
Here I am with what
you bought
Nothing new since then
What a
jewel you really are
Though tarnished you old
hen
Incidentally have
you looked
Into the mirror dear
Seems to
me you lost your crown
Down the drain I
fear
You're no beauty you big old
toad
Your nose could be a private
road
Ears your size should be towed
And
your ego is on overload
Sorry folks I had my
fill
Each day in life a constant hill
Hope
you have a lot of fun
Halloween's been such a
thrill
Gonna carve this pumpkin
then
Put Fred in his place again
Fred has
always been a pest
Hope your Halloween's the
best.
