MARRIED TO THE GOOSE

V6

[Intro – Male, Smooth Nasal Spoken] Yeah… People always ask me… “Daniel… What’s it like being the Golden Goose of Springfield?” And I tell ’em— Don’t ask me. Ask my wife. She’s the one that has to live with this. [Beat Drops] [Verse 1] Walk into the place, Baby right beside me, Two minutes later, somebody recognize me. “Yo, that’s the Goose!” Here we go… Baby gives that little look ’cause she already knows. “Can I get a picture?” Absolutely, my man. “Can you sign this?” Yeah, give me the pen. Meanwhile Carmen’s standing there waiting patiently, Married to a local celebrity. Okay… “Celebrity” might be strong. But don’t ruin the song. [Pre-Chorus] She could’ve picked somebody quiet, Somebody laying low, Instead she got Daniel… The Golden Goose. Everywhere we go. One more picture, One more autograph, I look over at my baby, she’s trying not to laugh. ’Cause everybody sees the Goose… But she knows the man. [Chorus] SHE’S MARRIED TO THE GOOSE! Yeah, baby, that’s the life! Everybody wants a picture, But I go home with my wife. MARRIED TO THE GOOSE! She handles it like a champ, While I’m signing autographs like I just won a Grammy, damn! They can get the picture, They can shake my hand, But when the night is over, I’m still Carmen’s man. Golden Goose of Springfield, Yeah, everybody knows… But only one woman gets to take the Goose home. [Verse 2] We could be eating dinner, Trying to have a night, Somebody walks over— “Yo, can we get a pic?” Of course! Carmen keeps eating. She’s been through this before. I stand up, fix the shirt, Give ’em the celebrity pose. One picture. Then another. Now somebody brought a friend. Baby looking at me like, “Is this ever gonna end?” I come back to the table like I finished a show, Sit down all important— “Sorry, baby. You know how it goes.” [Beat Cuts] No. I don’t have security. Stop asking questions. [Beat Drops] [Pre-Chorus] She could get annoyed, She could tell me, “Let’s go,” But she lets the people have their moment with the Goose. Then I catch her little smile, Like she knows what nobody knows— This “famous man” was probably looking for his keys ten minutes ago. [Chorus] SHE’S MARRIED TO THE GOOSE! Yeah, baby, that’s the life! Everybody wants a picture, But I go home with my wife. MARRIED TO THE GOOSE! She handles it like a champ, While I’m signing autographs like I just sold out Gillette, damn! They can get the picture, They can shake my hand, But when the night is over, I’m still Carmen’s man. Golden Goose of Springfield, Yeah, everybody knows… But only one woman gets to take the Goose home. [Bridge – Sexy Reggaeton Breakdown] And that’s the funny part… Out there? I’m the Golden Goose. Pictures. Autographs. Big smile. “What’s up, brother?” All that. Then we get in the car… And I’m just Daniel again. Her husband. Probably hungry. Probably talking too much. Probably got another idea. And the woman sitting next to me has watched this whole ridiculous thing… And somehow still looks at me like I’m her man. That’s better than famous. [Beat Builds] But… For legal purposes… I am still the Golden Goose of Springfield. Let’s make that clear. [Beat Drops] [Verse 3] Sometimes I catch her watching from the side, While somebody takes a picture and I’m eating up the vibe. She’s seen every version, Every crazy little phase, Every song, every plan, every Golden Goose day. And she never tries to change me, Never tells me tone it down, She lets her crazy husband walk around like he owns the town. That’s my woman. That’s my ride. Everybody gets the Goose for a minute… She gets Daniel every night. [Final Chorus] SHE’S MARRIED TO THE GOOSE! Yeah, baby, that’s the life! Everybody wants a picture, But I go home with my wife. MARRIED TO THE GOOSE! She handles it like a champ, Another autograph, another picture— Baby understands! They can know the Goose, They can know the name, They can stop me in Springfield, Tell me they’re a fan. But when the lights go down and everybody goes home… Only Carmen gets Daniel. Everybody else gets the Goose. [Male – Spoken Over Beat] Okay, baby. I’m ready. We can go now. [Pause] Hold on. One more picture. Sorry. Celebrity problems. [Beat Cuts] I’m kidding. Mostly. [Outro – Spoken Female (Carmen)] Kids… if you hear circus music playing, that means the Ringmaster is busy… making another song about you. Stay in your rooms.
