DON'T LEAVE IT TO BEAVER I turned on television Yesterday morning And he was gone. Vanished. Into thin air. Mr. Greenjeans... Where have you gone? Oh, Mr. Greenjeans- Won't you teach us? Teach us how How to love Love the world The world around us. PLANT YOUR FEET IN THE GROUND! I turned on television This morning And there you were... But it wasn't really You. Popeye- What happened to you? Oh, Popeye- Won't you show us? Show us how How to live Live our dream The dream inside us. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AND THAT WAS TOO MUCH! Put my body in a controlled atmosphere dome. Put my head in a bubble and control my thoughts. I wanna be a White House Bubble Zombie!
