A Lizards' Tail


Hi I'm a lizard named Sam and I live in a tree

And every year a million people come from around the world to see me

You may ponder what makes this lizard so special oh, well I'll tell ya!

Well thats easy of course I can talk to humans in the heart of Australia

It started out small at first and that was a doozy

I accidentally whistled at a red head and she called me a floozy

She did not know it was I of course

But I laughed so hard I got hoarse

The guy behind her was itching for a slap

So she turned around and gave him a good smack

Well that's how it started and it went uphill from there

Now I'm on every TV a daytime millionaire

I met Oprah for the first time and she thought I was canny

Well until I made a joke and laughed at her fanny

I traveled from London to Paris Hell even Kentucky

I tried to meet the guy who invented fried chicken but I wasn't that lucky

Me and the Geico guy play golf sometimes

But he needs pants and to read between the lines

Oh I didn't know being famous could be so fun

But for being a lizard though I can only climb or run

How do I even spend money I don't own a lizard pocket

And why does one of my eyes keep rolling around in it's socket

I thought being a talking lizard would be cool

Until I lost my swim trunks one day at the pool

Well I guess for now I'll chill in my tree

At least for now the birds wont bug me

I'm going to make my crazy eye fall asleep soon

And who knows maybe read part two under the moon
