Poppy & Shrub
(Sung to the tune "Father & Son" by Cat Stevens)
By Wm. K. Tong and Alvin Dover

(instrumental intro)

(Sung by Poppy Bush:)
It takes time to rearrange.
They'll attack you as sleazy.
You´re still dumb - not my fault.
There´s so much that you don't know.
Rely on Karl - settle down.
But I want you and Cheney
To agree to be bold.
Make it snappy!

I'm no dunce like you are now, 
And I know nothing's easy.
Just be calm when they've found
something's going on.
But take your time - drink a lot.
Why think of everything you've got?
'Cause you won't still be here tomorrow, 
If your team is not!

(Sung by Shrub:)
How can I try to explain?
When I do, I make mistakes again.
It's always been the same, lame old story.
Every moment I could talk, they said my brain was missin'
Is there a way I could know when I'd have to go away?
Do I have to go away?

(Poppy Bush:)
It takes time to rearrange.
Take them down; hit the lowly.
You're still dumb; that's your fault.
There's so much that will just show through.
Rely on Karl - settle down.
But I want you and Cheney
To agree to be bold.
Make it snappy!

(Shrub: Okay, okay, okay!  You know I hate to make my decisions alone... Oh!)

(Shrub:)
All the times that I tried...
Sweeping all those things I screwed up aside.
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
Got no insight; I can't see.
But Dad's cronies prop up me.
Is there a way I could know when I'd have to go away?
Oh, no!  I have to go!

(Poppy: Hey, hey, hey!  Don't ever go and make these decisions alone!)
