Really Real

 

 

Some things are really real, real. 

Old love’s forgotten and lost. 

Romance is just a fifth wheel, 

 

Unweeded love is too real…

That boy, my path he has crossed. 

Yes, here I am, it’s unreal. 

 

Listen to me, I like to sing “The New Deal”. 

Today there is no frost…

And when that happens, life is ideal.

 

Listen to me, girl of golden steel!

Look at us, tempest-tossed. 

Take me serious-I’m talking to you, girl of orange peel! 

 

Oh poor girl, you have to deal. 

I’m all crisscrossed

Pretzel girl and girl of golden steel! 

 

Some things are really real, real. 

Old love’s forgotten and lost. 

Romance is just a fifth wheel, 

 

Why would I want to listen to your whole schpiel?

Orange peel, oh my gosh, you’re high-cost…

For me, your hair down—electric eel. 

 

Billions of little peels inside my head, pretzel girl reel! 

I thought I’d need time to defrost…

Here I am, pretzel girl, and girl of wondrous golden steel!

 

Listen to me, I like to sing “The New Deal”. 

Today there is no frost…

And when that happens, life is ideal.

 

Oh here comes he, the whiskered seal! 

He lives for my exhaust…

He feeds off it, and he does listen, does feel. 

 

Listen, listen, friends for reals! 

Boundless four, never be bossed! 

Tried so hard to be like a seal, 

 

Some things are really real, real. 

Old love’s forgotten and lost. 

Romance is just a fifth wheel, 

 

How many does a buggy need? Four wheels.

My ice has thawed with permafrost, 

T’was one day, so really real, real.  

 

On the outside, we must be fools, deal?

You know the slang of the seal. 

Look around and realize, pretzel girl, your ideals. 

 

Listen to me, I like to sing “The New Deal”. 

Today there is no frost…

And when that happens, life is ideal.

 

Yes, I’d sing a poem like a lantern eel!

Help me calculate the unit cost,

Girl of golden steel!

 

The real reason, be to listen to your lovely less-than schpiels. 

Lost we are not, at any cost.

Try the smell of heliotrope, little girl of eel!

 

Some things are really real, real. 

Old love’s forgotten and lost. 

Romance is just a fifth wheel, 

 

Listen to me, I like to sing “The New Deal”. 

Today there is no frost…

And when that happens, life is ideal.

 

Girl of eel, the whiskered seal, bid you tell her not I am teal!

I, pretzel girl, need fear a fall, though I am humble and not lost. 

Wordless, my obligation, girl of steel!

What the kids call cringe is in my coming schpiel, oh, girl of orange peel, please help me, hear!
