The Apple of My Eye - Barry Louis Polisar

    Once when I was all alone on a mountain by the sea
    I eyed a one eyed cyclops looking straight at me
    Her head was green and hairy. she had a dozen toes
    And her one eye looked as scary as the warts upon her nose
    Oh. I must have looked forlorn when I saw she had three arms
    I feared that I was gone, I knew she meant me harm
    I tried to run away from her, but
    I was losing ground She was coming faster and faster at me, screaming a horrible sound

    [Chorus]
    A SHIGGIE BA GE BA BA BE BE BA A SHE BA BE BA BE BA BAY
    A SHIGGIE BA NAY BA GA NAY BA BE OE DE BA BA BE BA BE BA BE BA BAY

    It was hopeless if I ran. we were standing head to head
    Then she grabbed me in her hand and turned to me and said
    "I wish you wouldn't run so fast. I think you're kind of cute"
    "Not only that," she whispered low, "I think that I love you"
    "You are the apple of my eye," she said, and then she gave me a wink
    "Sweet as a cherry pie," she said, though maybe she Just blinked
    Then she kissed me on the face and I know that I turned red
    But you know what they say, hey. "Better red than dead"

    [Repeat Chorus]

    Well It happened oh, so fast. it sounded oh, so weird
    And though her mouth had a funny taste, well. it was nothing as I feared
    You know I always did like blue eyed girls --she's the perfect one for me
    I married her and you know she even likes poetry
    And I see now what I feared was what I did not know
    And I guess you can love someone with warts upon their nose.
    'Cause I live p on the mountain now, bordered by the sea
    With a half a dozen cyclops kids. who almost look like me

    [Repeat Chorus]
