If you Like Calvin and Hobbes. (The Calvin Song)

I don't own C/H



I was tired of my comics - Calvin was there too long

Like a worn-out game of that old game Pong

So before I lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed

And in the comics, Calvin was gone and I read



"If you like Calvin and Hobbes, and getting caught in their world

If you're not into soap-opera strips, if you see Hobbes by the fire curled

If you'd like reading comics at midnight in the dunes on the Cape

Then they were the comic that you'd looked for - we've just seen them escape"



I didn't think about my life - I know that sounds kind of mean

But I saw Calvin in the wild fields of green

So I went into the fields, I thought I'd been had

And though I'm nobody's poet, I saw it wasn't half bad



"Yes I like Calvin and Hobbes, and though I didn't know

I'm not much into Apartment 3-G, but I like the snow

I've got to meet you right now, to see the tiger and his friend-

I never knew how good I had it- but it's now past the end "



So I waited with high hopes and Calvin walked in the place

I knew his smile in an instant, I knew the curve of his face

It was my own good friend, and he said, "Good to see you."

Then we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew."

That you really were here, waiting to find me

That you knew I would come here as you did flee

That you'd forgive me. For my mistake.

You're the good friend I've looked for - better then an escape



"If you like Calvin and Hobbes, and getting caught in their world...
