Beginning Of A Great Adventure Lyrics - Reed Lou

It might be great to have a kid that I could kick around 

a little me to fill up with thoughts 

A little me or he or she to fill up with my dreams 

a way of saying life is not a loss 

I'd keep the tyke away from school 

and tutor him myself 

keep him from the poison of the crowd 

But then again pristine isolation 

might not be the best idea 

It's not good trying to immortalize yourself 

Why stop at one, I might have ten, a regular TV brood 

I'd breed a little liberal army in the woods 

Just like these redneck lunatics 

I see at the local bar 

with their tribe of mutant inbred piglets with cloven hooves 

I'd teach them how to plant a bomb, start a fire, play guitar 

and if they catch a hunter, shoot him in the nuts 

I'd try to be as progressive as I could possibly be 

as long as I didn't have to try too much 

Susie, Jesus, Bogart, Sam 

Leslie, Jill and Jeff 

Rita, Winny, Andy, Fran and Jet 

Boris, Bono, Lucy, Ethel 

Bunny, Reg and Tom 

that's a lot of names to try not to forget 

Carrier, Marlon, Mo and Steve 

La Rue and Jerry Lee 

Eggplant, Rufus, Dummy, Star and The Glob 

I'd need a damn computer to keep track of all these names 

I hope this baby thing don't go too far 

Hey I hope it's true what my wife said to me 

She says, baby, it's the Beginning of a Great Adventure 

It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick around 

create in my own image like a god 

I'd raise my own pallbearers to carry me to my grave 

and keep me company when I'm a wizened toothless clod 

Some gibbering old fool sitting all alone 

drooling on his shirt 

some senile old fart playing in the dirt 

It might be fun to have a kid I could pass something on to 

something better than rage, pain, anger and hurt 

I hope it's true what my wife said to me 

She says Lou, it's the Beginning of a Great Adventure
