Title: I Never Promised You a Prose Garden
Artist: Moulton
Composer: Joe South and Barsoom Tork Associates
Midi: Rose Garden

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a prose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.
When you take, you gotta give, so live and let live,
Or let go.
I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a prose garden.

I could promise you things like big font screeds,
But you don't find Moses trolling on RSS feeds.
So you better think it over.
Well, if jive-talkin' you could make it come true,
I would give you fealty right now on a silver platter,
But what would it matter?
So smile for a while and let's be jolly:
Somey shouldn't be so melancholy.
Come along and share the good times while we can.

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a prose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.

Instrumental break from insufferable meta-chatter.

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a prose garden.

I could sing you a tune or promise you the moon,
But if that's what it takes to scold you,
I'd just as soon let you go, but there's one thing I want you to know.
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep,
And there won't always be Kato there to pull you out,
And you know what I'm talkin' about.
So smile for a while and let's be jolly:
Somey shouldn't be so melancholy.
Come along and share the good times while we can.

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a prose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.

Fade out.
