The Ballad Of Mr Log
Lyrics
I... thought I was meant to burn
I thought it was my turn
when I was sold, but I was wrong.
We’ve been everywhere together
We’ve had such fun –
I never thought I’d feel like I belonged.
But you said:
Oh Mr Log,
life was always a slog ‘til you came.
(OH MR LOG!)
And since you came into our lives,
we’ve been popping champagne.
(OH MR LOG!)
You’d burn for us, we know it’s true
But that’s not why we love you.
We won’t let you,
we don’t want to set you aflame.
We... went camping in the woods
And everything was good
‘til nightfall when you began to freeze.
Poor you, you shiver and you shake,
So maybe for your sake
I’ll light the fire inside of me.
But you said:
Oh Mr Log,
yes the cold and the fog is a shame.
(OH MR LOG!)
Yeah we may be shivering,
but we ain’t delivering blame.
(OH MR LOG!)
Your offer’s kind, but you’re our best mate,
So kindly don’t self-immolate!
No we won’t let you,
we don’t want to set you aflame.
My heart's a torch for you,
I'll be your barbeque.
I'll be the hero of this story.
If it’s what you desire,
it’s time I ate some fire.
I'll go down in a blaze of glory.
You're like the second pig in the poem,
you made this wood a ho-em.
Mr. Log, please don't set yourself on fire.
It's fine. We're fine.
We drove here, we've got hats,
We can go and get KFC later. It's fine!
Oh Mr Log,
life was always a slog ‘til you came.
(OH MR LOG!)
And since you came into our lives,
we’ve been chanting your name.
(OH MR LOG!)
You’d burn for us, we know it’s true,
But that’s not why we love you.
We won’t let you,
we don’t want to set you aflame.
