Liner Notes
Chance the gardener
Lived a sheltered man’s life;
‘Till the Old Man Died,
he had a place to live, and
All he’d seen of
All the outside world was
From his TV,
‘Till he met the wife of Ben Rand.
Walking for the
First time through DC’s streets,
Chance tried with his
Hand remote controller to switch
His surroundings
When his legs got crushed by
Eve Rand’s limo,
Who took him in (and was filthy rich).
“In the garden, growth will have it’s
Season, and I like to watch it.”
“All is well ----- and all will be well -----
In the garden, in the garden.”
Chance’s answers
Make a big impression
With Ben, who tells the
President who is quite sure to
Quote Chance in a
National address, then
Calls him Chauncey
And makes him a close advisor.
Chauncey Gardner’s
Optimistic metaphors
Sweep the nation,
‘Cause they’re small sound bites to quote.
While Ben is dying,
He sets up Chance up with Eve.
Chance becomes a
Candidate for presidential vote. |
