MORGAN THE PIRATE

Well OK buddy, have to thank you for the ride,
don't know how I would have made it without you.
Had to push when you got busted,
had to help you get adjusted,
had to pick up pieces after you'd been through.

But you had to have assistance
in confirming your existence
and establishing resistance
to the one or two hard feelings
one or two hard feelings
one or two hard feelings left behind.

It's all right brother, have to thank you for the
fun.
Don't know how I'd ever find my way alone.
There were other friends around you;
there were some who claimed they found you,
and a few who helped construct your favorite
throne.

But you saw your queen and raised her;
in the process you amazed her,
and if I may paraphrase her,
there are one or two hard feelings
one or two hard feelings
one or two hard feelings left behind.

So sit tight, daddy, let me say it's been a
groove;
Don't know how I climbed this ladder by myself.
Just because it's kinda broke, it [or "crooked"?]
doesn't mean you'd overlook it
or expect me up above you, giving help.

After all the lights were blinking
in the headlines of your thinking
while your open eye was winking
at the one or two hard feelings,
one or two hard feelings,
one or two hard feelings left behind.

Well, so long, mother, let me say it's been a
ball,
and as long as you're still climbing, I'll
resign.
You have been an inspiration
to your or image's creation
so I think I'll step outside and pass the time.

You have finished your debuting,
and you're ready for renewing,
and there's no time for undoing
all the one or two hard feelings
one or two hard feelings
one or two hard feelings left behind.

It's bye-bye, buddy, have to say it once again,
I appreciate your velvet helping hand.
Even though you never gave it,
I am sure you had to save it
for the gestures of the friends you understand.

You have gotten even higher
and become your own supplier
and the number one denier
of the one or two hard feelings
one or two hard feelings
one or two hard feelings left behind.
