Brett & Hibby

Art in America

Compositor: Cristopher Ruetenik

Brett was winner
Hibby was thinner
And he had to keep moving all the time
He'd lived a long life
His number two wife
She hide to keep
Nagging
You're much to old dear
For this behavior
Won't you sit down for awhile

So he got him a new love
A much younger model
Didn't give any thought to the old one at all
Hibby called him one morning
Dear
How are you doing
So he wrote her a letter
He was improving
He'd never stop moving
Full of the fire
Of life

So
No one likes to be told
What to do
And Hibby says you wasted
Your time
You wasted all your precious
Time

No
No one likes to lay about
All the time you wasted your time wasted
Your time
You wasted all your precious
Time
And so

You know I hate these long goodbyes
Bye bye bye bye
You know I hate these long goodbyes
Bye bye bye bye
It's just my life, It's just my life
It's just one long, goodbye

So
No one likes to be told
What to do
And Hibby says you wasted
Your time
You wasted all your precious
Time

No
No one likes to lay about
All the time you wasted your time wasted
Your time
You wasted all your precious
Time

You wasted time
You wasted time
Look at Brett and Hibby
Don't waste your time
Don't waste your time
Poor Brett and Hibby
Oh
Don't waste your time
Don't waste your time
Look at Brett and Hibby
Don't waste your time
Don't waste your time
Look at Brett and Hibby
Don't waste your time
Don't waste your time
