Howe Gelb Lying There
You can bumble up your own birthday party
Just by showing up one year late
[Foul] playing in traffic
Just by trying to concentrate
It was going to be easy
Should have been a [guess]
All you had to do is lie there
All you had to do is lie
All you had to do is lie there
But apparently that could be too much to ask or even try
You can acquire untold riches
Just by giving everything away
Show the world just how much you hate Christmas
By celebrating it each day
It should have been a cakewalk
It should have been a sip from the flask
All you had to do is lie there
All you had to do is lie
All you had to do is lie there
But apparently that could be too much to try or even ask
It could have been one hot ticket
Collected of fine hotel soap
Accommodate the [adoring]
Managing to barely cope
It should have been paint by numbers
Just settle back in [ ]
All you had to do is lie there
All you had to do is lie
All you had to do is lie there
But apparently that could be too much to even supply
