where are we going, and why am i in this handbasket??
you told me once, you told me twice:
more gin, less tonic, leave out the ice;
you told me three times, maybe four:
give me my breakfast and then close the door.
five times, six times, seven times, eight:
there's dust on the counter and grime on this plate.
ten times, twenty times, thirty times, more:
you'll never amount to much; now go clean the floor.
But then, where there's a will there's a way.
I called a good home and had you taken away.
I told you once, I told you twice:
it would serve you well to try to be nice.
I told you three times, maybe four:
karma remembers and opens the door.
five times, six times, seven times, eight:
there's a place I can think of I know you will hate.
ten times, twenty times, thirty times, more:
You should have thought about these things before.
Because: where there's a way, there's a will.
At least you won't be too lonely, and you won't catch a chill.
