So Just Trust Me
You've given me all of your money....
on what I can do for you....
You're waiting by the banks of the ocean....
So I can bring it back home to you....
But the Sirens are singing so sweetly....
and calling me far away....
The outline of paradise I can almost touch....
But for you I must not delay....
....
So Just trust me....
....
You know I have the best of intentions....
The rules have been written quite clear....
A contract, after all, is a contract....
But in Vegas what happens stays here....
Why would I gamble our future....
For some sheckels, one more ore one less....
The oil is there for the taking....
My Intentions are only the best....
....
so just trust me
Shrimp Ale Oilio
Shrimp Alle Oilio
I'm dining today with my brother
whose found a new place to eat
he says to me "be a good fella,
and eat some nice shrimps with your wheat"
So we went down to the New Orleans Harbor
and the Matre D showed us our seat
the waiter came by and started to cry
as he told us his resturants new treat
"We now have Shrimp Alle Oilio
It's been Zagat rated you know
Its as good as the Clams Fra Diabalo
cause its pre basted before it comes in the door
Its good for your health and nutrition
to eat fish with some good petroleum
and no doubt its good
for BP who gets
more of our hard earned simoleans"
