lyrics

A BOY AND HIS COOKIE

I want a cookie that never ends
To last me all my life
A cookie I can eat and eat
With or without my wife
With or without his wife

I want a cookie that’s always there
To catch all of my tears
To hold me in my hour of need
And sooth my nightly fears
And sooth his nightly fears

Oh I’ll never stop eating, I mean it, I swear
I’ll keep it with me everyday everywhere
And I’ll sweep up the crumbs
And I’ll vacuum the rug
I promise, I promise, I promise…

I want a cookie that’s always whole
That’s bigger than I’ll ever be
One that’s warm and gooey and soft
And baked only for me

Oh I’ll always be hungry, I mean it, I swear
I’ll cling to her side everyday everywhere
And I’ll brush twice a day
And I’ll floss before bed
I promise, I promise, I promise…

I want a cookie that’s always there
Each morning when I wake
And lets me eat the whole day through
Despite my tummy ache
Despite his tummy ache

Oh I’ll always be starving, I mean it, I swear
I’ll cling to your side everyday everywhere
And I won’t run away
If you don’t run away
I promise, I promise, I promise…
