I’m witty and contrite
It’s true I am quite daft
With a charming sense of humor
And a plethora of laughs
Boyish good looks
Intelligence in spades
Ambitious as they come
It’s true I got it made
Living for the fun of it
In every kind of way
Minute after minute
Living for today
And if tomorrow comes
I’ll be there for the race
Send me off to college
Or into outer space
I can be an astronaut
The stars to which I pray
Our galaxy, the universe
Vanished without a trace
I can make you happy
When we’re face to face
There’s no other way around it
The thrill is in the chase
And when I contemplate it
The suspect in a cage
It makes me feel nostalgic
Way back in the day
I try to be convincing
Read what’s on the page
A steaming locomotive
Superseded by the train
My heartbeat pumping fast
Allow me to explain
But first let’s grab a drink
I didn’t catch your name
Tell me all your secrets
I’ll prove you’re not insane
My heart, it goes unwanted
Do you feel the same?
I’ll never cheat or harm you
You’re deserving of only praise
You’ve made a real impression
Inducted to the hall of fame
