Nellie McKay - Oversure lyrics

rate me

Maxine Schreck was a very lucky lady

Maxine Schreck was a very lucky girl

Who you wanna be

Maxine Schreck

Who you wanna see

Maxine Schreck

Have you got some time, have you got some spine

Have you got something to begin with

Or are you in a sinwich

Have you got some nerve, have you got some verve

Have you got something to depend on

Or do you fender bend on

And if you say no

Do you mean to go

Down below the earth with nothing

Now you've got my name, and you've got my fame

Have you got something to remind you

Of who you used to be

Or are you happy being me

Moonlight and roses

Starlight and fairytales that won't come true

Good news for those who pine away

The day comes shinin' through

Kittens high-hattin', sittin' on satin

With a host who's catnip fond

For those who seize the day

The way is paved beyond-er

I didn't know the world was like this

If I'da known, then I'd be psychic

If I had a clue

Then maybe I'd be blue as a mockingbird

Why do you think she laughs so much

I didn't know I had such problems

If I'da known, then I'da solved them

But looking down the road

The Oklahoma toad's beckoning to me
