The Spaghetti Man

[Verse 1] Oh, the Spaghetti Man, he’s a slippery sort, Dodging life's duties like it’s some cruel sport. When the bills came knocking, he’d melt away, A noodle with no sauce to save the day. [Chorus] Spaghetti Man, oh, Spaghetti Man, Flimsy as a strand in a boiling pan. He bends, he twists, but he won't take a stand, Oh, Spaghetti Man, oh, Spaghetti Man. [Verse 2] He left her the house (the wife did pay the husband his share of the house) and a check so thin, Just enough to keep her worryin’. She feared he’d crumble, unravel and break, So she spared him the burden he wouldn’t take. [Prechorus] But the kids grew wise, and they’d look in his eyes, Said, "Daddy, your wallet can’t tell us lies." [Chorus] Spaghetti Man, oh, Spaghetti Man, Hiding from the world like a flash in the pan. But even limp pasta can firm up in time, Oh, Spaghetti Man, you're starting to shine. [Bridge] Now he’s drowning in work, his head in the sand, But the kids reach out with a loving hand. "Buy us a book, a bike, or a ball, If we’re worth your love, we’re worth it all."
