Lyric Fourteen

Fourteen!
Fourteen girls in baggy pajamas
What if I d gone to the south Bahamas
Told me I had won the mystery prize
Tied my head behind my back and blindfolded my eyes

Fourteen tons of golden ripe bananas
The one I d trade for my long lost bandana
The one I won one time at the State fair
With little pictures of James Dean slicking back his hair

Fourteen is not my favorite number
At night I dream, I see Fourteen spelled out in lumber
Fourteen - I can t understand
Fourteen - cause I m just an ordinary man
Fourteen - I can t understand
Fourteen - cause I m just an ordinary man

Fourteen men to witness my confession
If I m ever sentenced and die for my obsessions
There s Fourteen songs all named Fourteen
With Fourteen verses each that I dearly love to sing
X-I-V is how the Romans said it
In retrospect I m sure they don t regret it
Eventually their empire finally fell
F-o-u-r-t-e-e-n is how we came to spell

Fourteen - is not my favorite number
At night I dream, I see Fourteen spelled out in lumber
Fourteen - I can t understand
Fourteen - cause I m just an ordinary man
Fourteen - I can t understand
Fourteen- cause I m just an ordinary man
An ordinary man, an ordinary man
Fourteen!
