VERSE 1
Oh one day, I heard a tune that led to dancing just like a fool
so i asked my servant, just what is the world comin' too
well he said "master, your fathers baby boy has finally come home, isn't that a joy"
he's safe and sound, so come join the party and put on your dancin' shoes
VERSE 2
I said are you serious??? Look all these years I've served and kept my mouth shut
yet you ignored me, you spoiled my whoring brother, with pig slop running down his face
CHORUS
father, please explain to me / what I just don't see
when you reward with gold / the prodigal
but son you're always with me and everything I have is yours
you see your brother was dead and now he's alive again
VERSE 3
this is all got to be a joke, or some kind of silly game
since when does the looser win the dame?
No, No! Not in my story, this ending is just too unfair
VERSE 4
brother that coat you wear, it's just my size
and that cow you eat... I thought you were a vegan watchin' your size
we all know this party and this lindy dancin is because of me
BRIDGE
oh your brother was dead, and didn't even know
he starved himself with a money game, but I just had to let him go
now son you've got a choice to make, with open arms you too can come home
cause you've been gone for so long
