Fourth of July
Information
- Title: Fourth of July
- Written by: Krukowski/Wareham/Yang
Lyrics
I wrote a poem on a dog biscuit
And your dog refused to look at it
So I got drunk and looked at the Empire State Building
It was no bigger than a nickel
And if it don't improve
Then I have to move
I never thought that I would end up here
Maybe I should just change my style
But I feel alright when you smile
I stayed at home on the Fourth of July
And I pulled the shades so I didn't have to see the sky
I decided to have a Bed In
But I forgot to invite anybody
And when I fell asleep
The neighbours had a peep
I never thought that I would end up here
Maybe I should just change my style
But I feel all right when you smile
And your dog refused to look at it
So I got drunk and looked at the Empire State Building
It was no bigger than a nickel
And if it don't improve
Then I have to move
I never thought that I would end up here
Maybe I should just change my style
But I feel alright when you smile
I stayed at home on the Fourth of July
And I pulled the shades so I didn't have to see the sky
I decided to have a Bed In
But I forgot to invite anybody
And when I fell asleep
The neighbours had a peep
I never thought that I would end up here
Maybe I should just change my style
But I feel all right when you smile
