Andy's Song

I ride my bike to work every morning
I ring my bell (ding, ding!) and make sure my helmet's tight
At every turn, I issue a warning
This arm is for left, and this arm is for right
At the red light, a Toyota pulls beside me
The pretty woman inside gives a smile
That happy grin is enough to provide me
With total satisfaction for a long, long while!
And I don't have a car because of pollution
So completely not because I'm much too scared to drive
I've come pretty far in my evolution
And I don't need a lot to be totally alive
I tuck my Polo shirts in my Levi's
'Cause, it looks sharp!
...Okay?
And it makes me feel secure
How come every person I receive tries to tell me I need something more
I mean, c'mon, what for?
And I don't need a girlfriend, I got a goldfish
She needs my attention 'cause she is nearly 5
I don't have a secret dream, or some bold wish
And I don't need a lot to be totally alive
I'm fine with what I've got, I feel totally alive.
I got a Captain Kirk action figure
In the original packaging since I was ten (It's true!)
I never open it or shake it
Too afraid I'd break it
I've had self control since way back then
Got a sweet one-bedroom pad,
And a loving widow dad

40 years of moving at a constant speed
There's nothing else I really need
And you may that I want more than I let on
But I'm really fine, so no need to be appalled
I'm this way by choice,
And what you can bet on is
I'll keep moving forward,
The opposite of stalled.
And I don't have a car 'cause they're overrated,
I don't have a girlfriend, and somehow I survived
Still, I've got crazy far, and just as I've stated:
I mean what I said, I feel totally alive
Sure as the helmet on my head, I feel totally alive
I'm the opposite of dead, I feel totally alive
Doo. doo. doo. doo. doo
