Talking Ernest

Shoulda heard what my talking earnest said to your talking pee-wee

He said "last night that furby it was talkin to me

Talking in the language of love"

And then my talking earnest said to your talking pee-wee

He said "that mannequin head shoulda gone with

The purple eye shadow instead"

And then my talking earnest said to your talking pee-wee

He said "I don't mind them Pokemon just as long

As they leave me alone"

And then my talking earnest said to your talking pee-wee

He said "them garbage pail kids shoulda got a lot more credit

For the wacky things they did"

And then my talking earnest said to your talking pee-wee

He said "Muhammad Ali barbie really floats like a butterfly stings like a bee,

Floats like a butterfly stings like a bee, yeah yeah"

But talking earnest he was just making small talk

There was something bigger on his mind

"Gee, I'm glad it's raining, the gentle rhythm heals the hurt inside

I'm really glad it's raining, the wounded warrior needs a place to hide

Everyone needs someone they can count on til the end

What they needed was a hero all I wanted was a friend

All I wanted was a friend"

And then my talking earnest said to your talking pee-wee

"Hey man, it's over" he said "have you heard the news?

Jim Varney's dead, he's dead"

And then your talking pee-wee said to talking ernest

"But my friend he's not gone I pull the string on your back

And he lives on and on, on and on"

But then talking pee-wee turned to Muhammad Ali barbie

And said "I'm glad I'm not talking Ernest 'cause that is a hell of a legacy

That is a hell of a legacy, yeah yeah"
