Can You Take It?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Popeye's big punch knocks bluto cold
Cartoon people don't go old
Yosemite sam blows up his head
But you and me wind up dead
Dreamed i laid a toaster
Daddy caught me in the act
Can u take it?
Beauty queens get bigger all the time
Mamma is in a basket, crossed a double
Yellow line
Magazines and t.v. show us nice behinds
All the kind of stuff nobody ever finds
Headlines in the paper "killed by rock n' roll"
Can u take it?
