Vernie

Is it the way you're speakin'

Is it because I'm peakin'

Twistin' your face, thumb in hand,

     but you

Gotta have your own space to play in

A collection of glass chickens

Oh Vernie, what a garden you have



Maybe it's the snuff under your lip

Or maybe caramel cake covered Christmas

Oh a flower you are to my land, but I

No I cannot deny the beauty

If I had a heart I would want it

	  to be like Vernie's

Oh what a heart that she has



Roaming through the cupboard jar of

	  pickles never -

Opened since nineteen eighty three

Peanuts in a pile and Elvis down

	the aisle -

Singing gallantly



I wish I could be

I wish I could be

I wish I could be

I wish I could be

I wish I could be

A little more like Vernie



Oh, I wanna be

I wanna be a little more like Vernie
