Lyrics for On the Road Again

Well, I wake up in the morning, there's frogs inside my socks Your mama, she's hidin' inside the icebox Your daddy walks in wearin' a Napoleon Bonaparte mask Then you ask why I don't live here Honey, do you have to ask? Well, I go to pet your monkey, I get a face full of claws I ask that who's in the fireplace and you tell me, "Santa Claus" The milkman comes in, he's wearing a derby hat Then you ask why I don't live here Honey, how come you have to ask me that? Well, I ask for something to eat, I'm hungry as a hog So I get brown rice, seaweed and a dirty hot dog I got a hole where my stomach disappeared Then you ask why I don't live here Honey, I gotta think you're really weird Your grandpa's cane, it turns into a sword Your grandma prays to pictures that are pasted on a board Everything inside my pockets your uncle steals Then you ask why I don't live here Honey, I can't believe that you're for real Well, there's fist fights in the kitchen They're enough to make me cry Then the mailman comes in, even he's gotta take a side Even the butler, he's got something to prove Then you ask why I don't live here Honey, how come you don't move?
