a song i wrote today

[cellomusette]

f i didn't have my big toes/
i would walk a crooked path/
and if i didn't have ten fingers/
i wouldn't be no good at math/
and if i didn't have no tongue/
i couldn't tell jokes to make other people laugh/
so i'm thankful for all my body parts/
that i still have./

/

if i didn't have my kneecaps/
i couldn't kneel before the lord/
or before any of my boyfriends/
i wouldn't get no dates no more/
if i didn't have no liver/
i couldn't drink a toast to you/
then spend a week up at the Betty/
detoxing off cocaine and booze/
