If I Didn't Have A Goiter

Johnny Socko


So you came up to me at the end of the night 
I stay in profile and keep out of the light 
I'd like to meet your gaze and face you straight on.
But there's something in my features that's very very wrong 
If I seem a tad evasive, or preoccupied 
I'll put it to you straight, I'd be in trouble if I lied 
Any further chance of congress will prob'ly be wrecked 
But I'll tell you the truth, and darn me to heck 
There's a lump like a casaba melon stuck on my neck 

If I didn't have a goiter, I'd ask you out 
If I didn't have a goiter, I wouldn't wear these turtlenecks
If I didn't have a goiter, I wouldn't be quite so vexed 
If I didn't have a goiter, goiter, goiter, goiter, goiter 

So you got the beer goggles and you're not walking right 
But you'd have to be blind not to notice this sight 
I lay on my side whenever I go to bed 
Cause this thing is like havin' me a second head 
People point and stare whenever I ride the bus 
At my glandular piñata that is chock full of pus 
Another couple seconds you'll find out and be gone 
Guess I'll never get a chanec to make that special bond 
Cause my thyroid seats 4 with room for carry-on 

If I didn't have a goiter, I'd ask you out 
If I didn't have a goiter, I wouldn't wear these turtlenecks
If I didn't have a goiter, I wouldn't be quite so vexed 
If I didn't have a goiter, goiter, goiter, goiter, goiter 

You seen my defect but you're still hangin' round 
And suddenly my chances are goin' up instead of down 
I got the feeling you and I are sharing the night 
And the reason I know everything is alright 
Is cause now I see that you have got the elephantitis 

If I didn't have a goiter, I'd ask you out 
If I didn't have a goiter, I wouldn't wear these turtlenecks
If I didn't have a goiter, I wouldn't be quite so vexed 
If I didn't have a goiter, goiter, goiter, goiter, goiter
