MY DOPPELGANGER AND I
You are never alone when you have a
doppelganger as a mate
You set off the doppelganger is there to
close the fuckin’ gate
Set off onto the golf course doing my
best to get a hole in one
Just to have your doppelganger get it in
- it so ruins all the fun
I thought I would try my hand at fishing
- didn’t he come along
Big catch in his grab net - I thought
this is just so flippin’ wrong
I tried leaving him outside the pub once
- but he wasn’t so daft
Found him down the road hitch hiking
because he liked a laugh
I tied him to the chair once hoping that
would keep him at bay
But only came home to find him with my
dear wife making hay
I thought - I really had enough of this
and told him he had to go
He took it on the shoulder - “Man you
only reap what you sow”
Next time I ever heard of him - wasn’t
he on the news big time
Had become a Lt. Colonel in Iraq - and
was fighting in his prime
Now I am fucking telling you my missus
was as shocked as I was
Not because he was in Iraq - but because
Saddam was his cause
But we needn’t have worried because
didn’t he just swap sides
Shouting Ayatollah Khomeini Akbar while
in his big car he rides
It kinda of made me lonely seeing my
doppelganger in the news
So I invited him back with us - to stop
me from getting the blues
Now because of that hic with the missus
he’s always by my side
On an eternal promise that never again
he wouldn’t be so snide
Beside it is great to have my
doppelganger here as a good mate
You set off - the doppelganger is there
to close the fucking gate
