And the shirt that goes with it, 'cause it smells like you
And you know I like to sleep in that, in a vacation house at the beach
And a really small wedding, only 'bout three hundred people
Did I tell you I have kids? You're gonna love 'em
They're gonna need to go to college
Do you like reggae? I love reggae
On Tuesday nights, I like to go to trivia
So that's your night to go out with the boys and then you can... Is this thing on?
