What do you want from life?

(spooner/evans)
Copyright 1975 pseudo songs and swiveltone music

What do you want from life
To kidnap an heiress
Or threaten her with a knife
What do you want from life
To get cable tv
And watch it every night

There you sit
A lump in your chair
Where do you sleep
And what do you wear
When youre sleeping

What do you want from life
An indian guru
To show you the inner light
What do you want from life
A meaningless love affair
With a girl that you met tonight

How can you tell when youre doin alright
Does your bank account swell
While youre dreaming at night
How do know when youre really in love
Do violins play when youre touching the one
That youre loving

What do you want from life
Someone to love
And somebody that you can trust
What do you want from life
To try and be happy
While you do the nasty things
You must

Well, you cant have that, but if youre an american citizen you are entitled to:
A heated kidney shaped pool,
A microwave oven--dont watch the food cook,
A dyna-gym--Ill personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home,
A kingsize titanic unsinkable molly brown waterbed with polybendum,
A foolproof plan and an airtight alibi,
Real simulated indian jewelry,
A gucci shoetree,
A years supply of antibiotics,
A personally autographed picture of randy mantooth
And bob dylans new unlisted phone number,
A beautifully restored 3rd reich swizzle stick,
Rosemarys baby,
A dream date in kneepads with paul williams,
A new matador,
A new mastadon,
A maverick,
A mustang,
A montego,
A merc montclair,
A mark iv,
A meteor,
A mercedes,
An mg,
Or a malibu,
A mort moriarty,
A maserati,
A mac truck,
A mazda,
A new monza,
Or a moped,
A winnebago--hell, a herd of winnebagos were giving em away,
Or how about a mcculloch chainsaw,
A las vegas wedding,
A mexican divorce,
A solid gold kama sutra coffee pot,
Or a babys arm holding an apple?
