Shawty Likes My Seuss Collection Last week I met this girly at a Barnes and Noble Drinking a caramel macchiato talking on her mobile She was walking through the kids books she was getting strange looks What she pulled off the shelf I was hooked He walked over saw the book in my hand Sat down and told me he was a fan I've got four copies of the one that you are holding there Her eyes lit up I've never met someone who really cares S to the E to the U S S Yeah she's S E U double S obsessed S to the E to the U S S She said these kind of books are better than the rest She likes she likes she likes my Seuss collection She likes she likes shawty likes my Seuss collection Read em every day yeah she will he's the doctor cures all her ills She likes she likes shawty likes my Seuss collection Horton Hears a Who and The Cat in the Hat There has never been a writer who could quite write like that When we're reading through The Foot Book yeah she gives me that look Who knew a little Seuss is all it took To bring together what's never gonna stop Our love for Ten Apples Up on Top We always talk about What if I Ran a Zoo And if Mr Brown Can Moo well then we all should too S to the E to the U S S Yeah she's S E U double S obsessed S to the E to the U S S Her love for The Grinch isn't something you should test S to the E to the U S S Yeah she's S E U double S obsessed S to the E to the U S S She's got a Lorax tattoo on her arm that's the best

My New DeLorean It was a Saturday morning as I walked out the door Never new that this day would bring a whole lot more Than the week I had behind me it was more like a dream But not the kind that would come true or so it had seemed Down the street a couple blocks I saw it in a front yard For sale said the tag I didn't think very hard Rang the doorbell gave up cash grabbed the title and split I already know just what I should do with it Gonna hit the streets tonight in my brand new DeLorean Put a flux capacitor in the back of my brand new DeLorean Cant wait till they can hover conversion for my brand new DeLorean For now I'll just drive 88 miles per hour in my brand new DeLorean Got it back to my house and gave the engine a rest Grabbed my favorite jean jacket and an orange vest With my aviator glasses and suspenders I'm set Tied my Nike's on my feet now it's time to jet Backed out of my driveway and gave it some gas Roaring down the street watching cars as I pass With the stainless steel construction flux dispersion is tight But since it doesn't exist yet I guess I'll just drive all night No more hanging on to jeeps cruising round on my board Since I got my new ride my closets where it's now stored When I'm hanging with my girl we take the truck to the lake But when we hit the twin pines mall yeah you know what we take It doesn't take an Einstein to figure out why it's cool Yeah you can dog me all you want but I'll take you to school I guess you call it jealousy and if that's the case Some start kicking call me chicken cause I won't race

To Boldly Go To A Galaxy Far Far Away Your team really wanna wage war I watched Star Trek in 84 And I'm Still mad that I paid for got slave Leia, need I say more Goodness gracious outer space is more than just a couple places Your weak phasers are nothing when we got light sabers Your captain has no clue he's at the mercy of the crew Somehow they sold you on the notion that this is true That's old school Star Wars raised the bar I'd rather deal with Jar Jar than a year of Tasha Yar Next Generation nah homie we just begun Why have a weapon that I'd ever need to set to stun We chopping hands off now do the impossible You having a better series is Highly illogical Better music industrial light and magic But when it's comes to realism really you might just have it In fact its controversial but one thing I know is this You got your fandom I got mine so maybe we can coexist peace Man you've gotta be kidding have you seen your boy Anakin Hayden's emo robot acting had me straight up panicking With clones droids and Wookies don't know if you should talk Yoda was a puppet and are you really defending Ewoks You can't compare phantom menace in the same breath as Wrath of Khan And if the Federation can make peace with the Klingons then maybe it's time we got along Sisko Janeway Archer Decker Picard Solo or Kirk All these captains wanted peace so let's see if we can make it work I know that we can come together As one voice you'll hear us say We're on a mission to boldly go to a galaxy far far away There's more to us than one or the other And I just hope and pray That we can choose to boldly go to a galaxy far far away I know that we can come together With one voice we can come together yeah

Never Ending In Neverland I've been a lost boy since 1904 I left England for the promise of more A kid with a fairy showed up in my room and told us of a place to good to be true So my brother and I we sat down And listened to his story about where it was found I have to admit my attention was drawn While my sister sewed his shadow back on A little journey second star to the right Straight on through morning all through the night A little fairy dust and some happy thoughts Flying made easy like connecting some dots You'll never grow up you'll never grow old Sounded good to me yeah I was sold For the last century it's where my times been spent I wish I would've read the fine print It's never ending in Neverland If you don't live here you won't understand I've taken it about as long as I can It's never ending in Never Never Land Tired of sleeping and living in trees. A sleep number bed sounds better to me. I wish the housing situation was my only complaint But I got to be honest it ain't I can't vote drive a car or earn green Can't even see a movie if it's pg-13 When you're a hundred years old and your shoe size is six It might be situation to fix In hindsight I think I would've just stayed I'm not the only one who feels this way When it seems to good to be there's a price that you pay I think my brothers got a few things to say Minding my business when this imp slipped in He promised me eternal life but he wasn't Christian And enlisted me in his child army on a private safari Wild parties fighting pirates and carnies It’d be great to go on a date with Tink But I’ve been eight yeah eight for like 5,000 weeks Which means girls are gross I hang with my lost bros Nobody ever grows, I eat my pretend toast I’m getting irate that I never age I thought he was cool but now I see he’s deranged I know it’ll come to blows if I try to escape Yo come at me bro turn you into Peter Pancakes

Warren Worthington Is No Angel Hello my name is Warren my life is never boring Since I first grew my wings you know I'm always soaring I wasn't always flying sold out I wasn't buying Looking in the mirror always found myself denying But then one day a fire changed my life Saved my friends and found out who I was And now I take flight Was on my own but I felt called to fight To try to be a symbol or maybe some sort of light I thought I was a savior until I met Xavier He thought I needed a change to curb my rude behavior To be part of a team under authority That kind of situation doesn't sit to well with me I planned to leave just as soon as I could Had to get out of there while the getting was good Until I saw her face and then everything changed I still remember the day I first met Jean Gray They call me Angel but I ain't no Angel I'd be human if only I was able But I'm a mutant and the whole world hates me I guess that's just the way it goes will they come up with a cure who knows Til then I guess I'll just have to fly and let my wings be my guide Never apologized for how I lived my life Being rich and a mutant always caused some strife Cyclops and Wolverine I guess they hated me Because of all the times and every way I hit on Jean I couldn't help how I felt about her If they get her off my brain I would sure take that cure After a while I had to let it all go Before an energy beam or a claw hit my dome Inside I feel the same this never was a game Up to this point of my life I haven't earned my name Can't be an X-Men light be grounded and take flight Have to chose to be more or be lost out of sight There's been enough of the pain caused by me Need to make a new start and turn over a new leaf With Candy Southern by my side I'll be fine Wounds and scars will all heal all we need is some time I've thought about it a lot gonna take all that I've got For me to change how you see me I just wanna believe now cant you hear my plea
