  • Is it the way you're speakin'
    Is it because I'm peakin'
    Twistin' your face, thumb in hand, but you
    Gotta have your own space to play in
    A collection of glass chickens
    Oh Vernie, what a garden you have

    Maybe its the snuff under your lip
    Or maybe caramel cake covered in Christmas
    Oh a flower you are to my land, but I
    No I cannot deny the beauty
    If I had a heart I would want it to be like Vernie's
    Oh what a heart that she has

    Roaming through the cupboard jar of
    Pickles never opened since nineteen eighty-three
    Peanuts in a pile and Elvis down the aisle
    Singing gallantly

    I wish I could be
    A little more like Vernie
    Oh, I wanna be
    I wanna be a little more like Vernie Writer/s: AARON JEROME SMITH, TERRY L. HUNTER
