TOILET
PAPER BLUES
Lunch at Frankies gave me the desire
If I told you any d ifferent I w ould be a liar,
Now th is w o u ld n 't be a heated issue
if the bathroom s had to ile t tissue.
So take a tiyul around the dorms,
to search for w h a t used to be the norm.
Not pita in the fridge or a tan to flaunt,
A roll of the blue is all I w a n t:
W rite on the napkins if you have no better,
W rite your g irlfrie n d at home a sappy letter
But a roll of the blue can't.be replaced,
Your room m ate took your last stash and you're faced
And if you know w h a t I mean.
You d on't w a n t it to be a messy scene.
This should be the w o rst problem of th e Jews,
To have th e Toilet paper blues.
