ME YOU AND HOOBIE DOO by Tom Jensen
Well ladies and gentlemen
It is time to tell a story
About a student who liked to earn A’s
He knew what he had to do to make it
Who knew that hard work pays
Had a nice perspective on life
Knew whom he wanted for a wife
But for a long time
He let her slip away
He practiced all the words he’d say
He’s still searching
For that woman
To make his life complete
Anyone who knows him at all
Will tell you he’s not the type
To settle for defeat
Been searching for so long
Written so many bad songs
Speaking like a prophet
That he still won’t get off it
He wants to have his cake
And eat it too
There are certain choices you have to make
And you also have to learn from your mistakes
This is something that he knows
But apparently she knew it too
There’s only one thing that he wouldn’t do
And that’s stop smoking the hoobie doo
Hence she left and went away
At another place she stays
Now he’s learning it doesn’t pay
So he’s saving for a rainy day
There’s no telling when it will end
There’s no telling who’s your new best friend
Locked is an open door
One that’s never been entered before
There’s no telling what is in store
Soon you’ll understand
Nothing ever goes as planned
Your fate is decided
By how you handle adversity
You know I cannot hide it
I’ve been treated the worse you can be
Every blow I’ve dealt too myself
I cannot blame anyone else
She said me, you, and hoobie doo
That’s more than two
And that won’t do
