Lyrics:
Wish I was a Kellogg's Cornflake,
Floatin' in my bowl takin' movies,
Relaxin' awhile,
Livin' in style,
Talkin' to a raisin who occasionally plays L.A.,
Casually glancing at his toupee.
Wish I was an English muffin,
'Bout to make the most out of a toaster.
I'd ease myself down,
Comin' up brown.
I prefer boysenberry more than any ordinary jam.
I'm a "Citizen's for Boysenberry Jam" fan.
Ah, South California.
If I become a first lieutenant,
Would you put my photo on your piano?
"To Maryjane --
Best Wishes, Martin."
Old Roger, draft-dodger,
Leavin' by the basement door.
Everybody knows what he's tippy-toeing down there for.
