The Lyrics

April Foolishness
When you're mooned by some guy,
And you see his brown eye.
Boy they're ornery.
Would it be such a crime,
If you beat up a mime?
No, that's ornery.

The phone rings,
Ting-a-ling-a-ling,
Ting-a-ling-a-ling,
They ask is Myra Maines there?
(Myra Maines-Myra Maines there?)
Then then say
Resting where they lay
Buried yesterday
And it seems you'll remain there.

Watch for tricks, play it cool,
For today's April fool.
They're all ornery.
While at work be discreet,
And watch out for deceit, or a bluff.
Get some water to clean,
But it says needs dry cleaning when dirty.
Seems to me what you need,
To proceed is some water pow-der-y.

(Grab some glasses that spy)
(And they blacken your eye this is ornery)

Boy they're ornery.

(They will do monkey shine)
(Just watch out your behind, they're so ornery)

Boy they're ornery.

The phone rings,
Ting-a-ling-a-ling,
Ting-a-ling-a-ling,
And they answer hello-hey
(hello-hello-hey)
Then they say,
Please without delay
Get him right away,
Have you seen Mike Hunt today?

Did a search once online looking for the word "time",
It was corny (it was corny)
With the query complete,
Came this error discrete, it was dumb.
It said "cannot find time",
So was it just resigning or choring?
Seems to me it could be,
It was just too bus-y, this is ornery.

(Ornery)

Boy they're ornery...

When I worked at a pizza place they always used to ask the new employees to go back and ask the manager for the "dough repair kit". Worked every time. Very funny stuff.

Best April Fools in Sweden this year: Dermatologist's toddler accidentaly makes her father discover that mashed avocado works better than traditional sun tan lotion, just try it on in the spring sun and see for yourself. :-)
