GOOSE Lyrics

Goose and Gander

A lively romance in the middle of the swamp

Lit up by the autumn moon as they romped

Leaves turning colors like the dancing of fire

At a campsite lit up with teenage desire

They got lost in each other without losing themselves

Took pictures of ex-lovers off of their shelves

Were married in the spring by the Keebler elves

And vowed to honor, love and inspire

He said, Excuse me, may I inquire

The goose found a job with a corporate crew

The gander got lucky and he found one too

They made themselves a nest near a peaceful lake

Dreaming about all the love that they'd make

The gander would hurry home every night

Tidy the love nest and leave on the light

The goose would call, and say, Hey, let's not fight

I'll be out at the bar until eight

He said, Can you clear up one thing while I wait

If that's what's good for the goose is it good for the gander

Can I follow the golden rule, or is it double standard

You're out there painting the town while I'm painting our family room

Life used to be so black and white, now it's an eerie shade of blue

Seems you have to do unto others, if you don't want it to be done to you

The anniversary of their wedding day

Came for the fifth time yesterday

He sent roses. She sent a plant

He wrote, "I love you". She wrote, I can't

She called him at work to say thanks for the flowers

And to tell him she was stopping off at happy hour

He misunderstood, went home and took a shower

He thought she left early to be with him

While his heart kept singing this hymn

If that's what's good for the goose is it good for the gander

Can I follow the golden rule, or is it double standard

You're out there painting the town while I'm painting our family room

Life used to be so black and white, now it's an eerie shade of blue

Seems you've got to do unto others, if you don't want it to be done to you
