Eddie From Ohio - Fifth of July lyrics

Looking out the fishbowl At this Beethoven bust Ever since the canine No one's looking at us But I bet, with a running start, We could leap out of the water A two-foot drop to the Oriental rug And no one would be bothered We could flip and flop across the hardwood floor Hold our breath through the lawn The bust now sits where a globe used to be Canada should be at the end of this street And Lake Louise is where I want to be (chorus) It's the fifth of July Feeling independent! Please step aside, The celebration's over We're now on our own for the first of our lives On the fifth of July... Now what? Looking out the kennel At the dying oak tree Ever since the newborn No one's looking at me But I bet with these incisors I could gnaw through this lead A two mile run to the county line A two state run to the sea I could run through the briars and the brambles Where a rabbit wouldn't go So fast the hounds couldn't catch me Like a Johnny Horton show And anywhere is where I want to be (chorus) One if by land Two if by sea Three if by phone or facsimile Four if by plane Five if by boat Six if bilingual Seven by goat Eight by ten glossies of me... Looking out the bedroom At the snowy TV Ever since commencement No one's asking 'bout me But I bet before the night falls I could catch the late bus Take small provisions And this Beethoven bust. I could find work in the outskirts of the city Eat some fish on the way Befriend an old dog for a roadside pal Find a nice couch to stay A pull-out sofa, if you please (chorus)
