5 MINUTES OF FAME
I'm on my horse racing wild and free
there's music playing, bright lights,
and people watching me
a violent scream erupts as I look behind,
- to my dismay it is I find
I'm being chased by a giant bumble bee
I jumped to the left rather casually,
landing on a unicorn the
crowd gasps as they watch on
I'm doing tricks with ease “look mum no hands
aren't you proud of me”
we're racing fast every thing's a blur
round and round the crowd starts to stir
then all of a sudden we stop dead in our tracks
I looked around to the crowd
they'd turned their backs
the boys in blue had turned off the ride and
were coming toward me they were in mid stride
the manager from IGA running close behind
he yelled and he screamed “I've told you before
don't come in here lady, drunk in my store”
arrested for drunk and disorderly in a public place
banned from the carousel, a total disgrace
Hi my names George & I'm an alcoholic I say
I now go to meetings in Cooktown's CWA
the people are nice, they serve coffee there ey!
yeah you know it's called Alcoholics Anonymous
or abbreviated AA
