                Hurray, Hurray
    (Dedicated to my bestest friend Dennis)

Hurray, hurray, I'm going away
With the man in the little white coat.*
This is how it began:
He picked me up for a ride one day
For a picnic I was told,
But his convertable's top was down
And the January wind was cold.

Hurray, hurray, I'm going away
With the man in the little white coat.
This is what happened:
I shivered, shook, and quivered
And my nose spewed greenish snot.
Finally, he offered me a coat to wear
With long arms that tied in a knot.

Hurray, hurray, I'm going away
With the man in the little white coat.
This is what I said:
"Your kindness overwhelms me, sir,
But the knot is very tight.
My arms will not give an inch
When I pull with all my might".

Hurray, hurray, I'm going away
With the man in the little white coat.
This is what he did:
Turning to me, grinning like a cat,
He stepped handily on the gas.
Then he exclaimed joyfully
"The County now owns your ass."

Hurray, hurray, I'm going away
With the man in the little white coat.
This was my reaction:
"A rather fine car you have
Though constructed rather surreal.
I hope it gets us to the Farm
Before the evening meal."

Hurray, hurray, I'm going away
With the man in the little white coat.
This is what he said:
"Yes, the wheels are square,
And the windshield's black.
You drive it crazy,
And it drives you back."

Hurray, hurray, I'm going away
With the man in the little white coat.
This is what I figure:
This guy's as nutty as a fruit cake,
And this ride is really an illusion.
And if you don't believe my side,
I'm gonna give you a contusion.

Hurray, hurray, I'm going away
With the man in the little white coat.
Whoo!
Whoo!
