You get a pen and I'll get a paper We're gonna write ourselves a song We'll drive the poetics crazy Don't think the damn thing's gonna rhyme I got a friend and I think he's goofy I guess he thinks the same about me Guess it really takes one to know one And you look like an old friend of mine Out all night and acting crazy I've been up for two whole days Turn me over and roll me over Wind me up for one more rhyme Well, he called me friend and he called me brother I called him back, he was gone Took my songs and he took my money But the jokes on him, he's the friend of a fool Of a fool of a fool You get a pen and I'll get a paper We're gonna steal ourselves a song We'll drive the poetics crazy The damn thing's just might rhyme
