Great Big World - Eric Schwartz

Sun comes into my room I jump out a bed

Go straight to the kitchen put some coffee on and toast some bread

Brand new morning, gotta get going,

Turn on the shower make it in before the water’s flowing

Shave brush scrape flush rinse comb mints pluck

Gel squirt smell shirt pants socks shoes clock’s

Tellin me eight thirty-five, hey it’s great to be alive

Pour the coffee, drink the juice, inhale the toast and turn me loose

On this great big world you just watch me go

I am super man catch me if you can

Mister great big world you have met your match

I will call your bluff you will see how tough I am

My footsteps on the sidewalk make a rhythm like a train

As Im getting near the bus stop it pulls up to let the people in

I take a breath, my footsteps slow

I stop and smile wave good-bye, smack the side, watch it go

Cross the street to the deli, six-pack and a dozen jelly

Donuts and a lotto ticket say a prayer and let them pick it

Pay the tab, grab the bag, step out side take a drag

Marlboro hard pack everybody step back

Its a great big word and its mine all mine

I will get things done I will make it shine

Its a great big world you have met your match

Watch the way I thrive as I kick it into overdrive

Then I remember todays episode of Jerry Springer

Its gonna be a doozie its a floozy with a quadriplegic daughter

Whos a swinger

So I better not linger

I run back home and I put the groceries on the table

Turn on the tube, thousand channels of pirate cable

Strip down to my underwear, scratch myself, crack a beer

Sit back, have a laugh at all the stupid white trash

On the Jerry Springer show, dozen donuts in a row

Take my laptop to the john, boot up sign on

Check my email, spank my monkey

Check my email, spank my monkey

Smoke a doobie, smoke another

Spank my monkey, call my mother

'cause its a great big world and Im proud of me

For being just what I wanna be, wanna be

Its a great big world and its mine all mine

And Ill be this way til the end of time, end of time

Great Big World
