Kari

oh Kari I'm coming home
oh Kari I'm coming home
Gatorade and lemonade
and lying naked in the shade
pretending that I got it made by than
sniff and stuff and dip and snuff
till I think I have enough
and then I gonna get up if I can
oh Kari I'm coming home
oh Kari I'm coming home
the sky is green and in between
somebody says the water's clean
but I bet's just a dream by
the President is popping pilles
and paying all the old folks' bills
and wearing a silver spoon around his neck
oh Kari I'm coming home
oh Kari I'm coming home
an evil eye from the FBI
came walking by and caught my eye
and I told him carefully buddy I am James Bond (don't show)
he caught my bluff and took my stuff
and hit me till he'd had enough
and took me to a place I'm not fond of
oh Kari I won't be home
oh Kari I won't be home
