Someday My Apartment
Okay, you have to picture a Disney character singing this...
SOMEDAY MY APARTMENT
Someday I'll have an apartment
in the shitty part of town
I'll see trash and broken bottles
whenever I look down
There will be lots of locks on the doors
Cracks in the floor for the mice
In that shitty apartment complex
Won't that be nice?
I'll eat Ramen
three times a day
Chef Boyardee
straight from the can
With a six-pack of generic beer
Won't it be grand?
Someday I'll have me a boyfriend
who I'll meet in a seedy bar
He'll make me pay for my own drinks
then grope me in his car
And maybe we'll have a baby
We can't afford to feed
Wouldn't it be wonderful?
Wouldn't it, indeed.
Life would never be boring
Even walking down the street
Knowing I could
see a drive-by shooting
I'd feel so complete
In that shitty apartment
In that crappy neighborhood
It hasn't happened yet
But I know inside my heart
Yes, I know inside my heart
it could.
