Lyrics:

Wish I was a Kellogg’s Cornflake
Floatin’ in my bowl takin’ movies,
Relaxin’ awhile, livin’ in style
Talkin’ to a raisin who occasionally plays L.A.
Casually glancing at his toupee

Wish I was an English muffin
‘Bout to make the most out of a toaster
I’d ease myself down
Comin’ up brown
I prefer boysenberry
More than any ordinary jam
I’m a “Citizens for Boysenberry Jam” fan

Ah, South California

If I became a first lieutenant
Would you put my photo on your piano?
“To Maryjane–
Best wishes, Martin”

Old Roger draft dodger
Leavin’ by the basement door
Everybody knows what he’s
Tippy-toeing down there for
