Mr. Flutter

Well, I'm in a mess

and I need a friend

I've been thinkin' 'bout success

and how the story might end

but with friends like these

who needs enemies?

They've been lurking around

I see them coming down

and

Here comes Mr. Flutter

He and Mrs. Dread, well, they love each other

Gonna build a haunted house

and be my father and mother

They're tyin' the knot

in the middle of my gut

and they both want kids

so there's one in the oven

They've picked out a name

(he's called "little Nothin'")

I think he was born to be

my kissin' cousin

He's pullin' the chain

in the middle of my brain

Well, I'm tryin' to write a song

but I don't have the words

and my kids need a doctor

but I'm not insured

and my wife she looks pale

she got the check in the mail

and it's not the amount

we were thinkin' about

I got a friend on high

and he feels my pain

but I still got this dust

flowin' through my veins

and I wanna have faith

and I wanna know grace

but it's hard to break through

when the rent's overdue
