Beginning of a Great Adventure Lyrics

It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick around A little me to fill up with my thoughts A little me or he or she to fill up with my dreams A way of saying life is not a loss
I'd keep the tyke away from school and tutor him myself Keep him from the poison of the crowd But then again pristine isolation might not be the best idea It's not good trying to immortalize yourself
Beginning of a great adventure Beginning of a great adventure
Why stop at one, I might have ten, a regular tv brood I'd breed a little liberal army in the wood Just like these redneck lunatics I see at the local bar With their tribe of mutant inbred piglets with cloven hooves
I'd teach 'em how to plant a bomb, start a fire, play guitar And if they catch a hunter, shoot him in the nuts I'd try to be as progressive as I could possibly be As long as I don't have to try too much
Beginning of a great adventure Beginning of a great adventure
Susie, jesus, bogart, sam, leslie, jill and jeff Rita, winny, andy, fran and jet Boris, bono, lucy, ethel, bunny, reg and tom That's a lot of names to try not to forget [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/beginning-of-a-great-adventure-lyrics-lou-reed.html ]
Carrie, marlon, mo and steve, la rue and jerry lee Eggplant, rufus, dummy, star and the glob I'd need a damn computer to keep track of all these names I hope this baby thing don't go too far
I hope it's true what my wife said to me I hope it's true what my wife said to me, hey I hope it's true what my wife said to me
She says, "baby, it's the beginning of a great adventure" "babe, beginning of a great adventure" Take a look
It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick around Create in my own image like a god I'd raise my own pallbearers to carry me to my grave And keep me company when I'm a wizened toothless clod
Some gibbering old fool sitting all alone drooling on his shirt Some senile old fart playing in the dirt It might be fun to have a kid I could pass something on to Something better than rage, pain, anger and hurt
I hope it's true what my wife said to me I hope it's true what my wife said to me I hope it's true what my wife said to me She says, "lou, it's the beginning of a great adventure" "lou, lou, lou, beginning of a great adventure" She says, "babe, how you call your lover boy" "sylvia, quite you call your lover man"
