[good4somethingbum]

Forty-One Goin’ On FourteenBack in 7th grade, I’d pull on young girl’s braidsIf I liked 'em I'd put a frog in their deskBut now I play it smooth, hangin’ back’s the slickest moveCos all the ladies like men with some finesse So now I see a jogger with an iPod miniHer legs’re long n tan but not too skinnyI stay calm I got my pride..but deep inside1st chorusI’m a girl crazy teenagerWith posters of Farrah Fawcett MajorsRunnin’ wild n playin’ hookyChasin’ that cheerleader nookieStealin’ my dad’s last CoronaMakin’ out to “My Sharona”Lost in a teenage dreamI’m 41 goin’ on 14Back in junior high, I was an angry guyBeat up a kid who gave me a wedgie in gymNow me n him are friends, sometimes on the weekendsWe toast the past when I share a round with himBut now when I see a couple of punk hot doggersTalkin trash n botherin’ that joggerI can’t hold my anger in and once again2nd chorusI’m pretendin’ I’m bionicOr a midnight hero in a Marvel comicjust like Superman I'm willin’To save Lois from the villainFightin’ some bully in phys edLeavin’ lotsa lumps on his headLost in a teenage dreamI’m 41 goin’ on 14She thanked me for getting rid of those foolsBut she’s hot so I’m playin’ it coolShe sees through my disguise cos like all guys Repeat 1st chorusThere’s an old man who’s feedin’ the birdsand checkin’ out the chicks in mini-skirtsHe looks cranky old n meanBut he’s 81 goin’ on 18...©2007 Robert George
