LOU REED - Beginning Of A Great Adventure lyrics

rate me

It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick around<br>A little me to fill up with my thoughts<br>A little me or he or she to fill up with my dreams<br>A way of saying life is not a loss<br><br>I'd keep the tyke away from school and tutor him myself<br>Keep him from the poison of the crowd<br>But then again pristine isolation might not be the best idea<br>It's not good trying to immortalize yourself<br><br>Beginning of a great adventure<br>Beginning of a great adventure<br><br>Why stop at one, I might have ten, a regular tv brood<br>I'd breed a little liberal army in the wood<br>Just like these redneck lunatics I see at the local bar<br>With their tribe of mutant inbred piglets with cloven hooves<br><br>I'd teach 'em how to plant a bomb, start a fire, play guitar<br>And if they catch a hunter, shoot him in the nuts<br>I'd try to be as progressive as I could possibly be<br>As long as I don't have to try too much<br><br>Beginning of a great adventure<br>Beginning of a great adventure<br><br>Susie, jesus, bogart, sam, leslie, jill and jeff<br>Rita, winny, andy, fran and jet<br>Boris, bono, lucy, ethel, bunny, reg and tom<br>That's a lot of names to try not to forget<br><br>Carrie, marlon, mo and steve, la rue and jerry lee<br>Eggplant, rufus, dummy, star and the glob<br>I'd need a damn computer to keep track of all these names<br>I hope this baby thing don't go too far<br><br>I hope it's true what my wife said to me<br>I hope it's true what my wife said to me, hey<br>I hope it's true what my wife said to me<br><br>She says, baby, it's the beginning of a great adventure<br>Babe, beginning of a great adventure<br>Take a look<br><br>It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick around<br>Create in my own image like a god<br>I'd raise my own pallbearers to carry me to my grave<br>And keep me company when I'm a wizened toothless clod<br><br>Some gibbering old fool sitting all alone drooling on his shirt<br>Some senile old fart playing in the dirt<br>It might be fun to have a kid I could pass something on to<br>Something better than rage, pain, anger and hurt<br><br>I hope it's true what my wife said to me<br>I hope it's true what my wife said to me<br>I hope it's true what my wife said to me<br>She says, lou, it's the beginning of a great adventure<br>Lou, lou, lou, beginning of a great adventure<br>She says, babe, how you call your lover boy<br>Sylvia, quite you call your lover man
