about

This is another track I sold on ebay during my short stint as a superhero*. Again, the lyrics might be a little mysterious to those of you who were not the highest bidder, but perhaps you’re the type who enjoys mystery… I adore the keyboard solo in the middle. It’s especially laughable since I really can’t play keyboards…

lyrics

Abby's hair is red
And all the things she says to you
Make her seem put off
But her favorite color's blue

Or was it green like her eyes?
This girl was born on the Fourth of July, Nineteen Seventy-Six
Somewhere up North

Hello, Dr. Mom
Hello, Dr. Dad
Where there are no spuds to eat
Does Abby get sad?

And if, Heaven forbid, she should die today
She knows exactly what her stone would say, "It's worse."
Death's more like Hell than Somewhere up North

Abby's hair is red
And all the things she says to you
Make her seem put off
But her eyes are green and blue
