MY DOPPELGANGER AND I . . .

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
