Toast

May you always have a pencil when your pen runs out of ink
May you find some paper plates when all your dishes fill the sink
May you always have deodorant when your feet begin to stink
May you always have a bottle when you need another drink

Let a smile be your umbrella when you get caught in the rain
Let your name be known as Abel when the Lord calls out for Cain
Let your couch be sealed with Scotchguard when you make another stain
Let Igor's hand be steady when you need another brain

Be sure you're not in sterring when you're riding on the ark
Be sure you're not in drive when you think that you're in park
Be sure the power's off when changing lightbulbs in the dark
Be sure that you've got Kryptonite when you're fighting men named Clark

When you're feeling like some water may you always find a hose
When you feel just like a booger may you always find a nose
When you feel just like a heel may you always find five toes
When you feel the world's against you, screw it - that's the way it goes

I pray that you end up with queens when you start out with pawns
I pray your neighbor's dogs all stay on their own lawns
I pray your eyes may open for another million dawns
And I pray that Yoko Ono never ever sings this song

Here's to hoping that tomorrow may be better than today
Here's to no more English homework when it's time to run and play
Here's to hoping that a friend can find just one more hour to stay
Here's to knowing when to stop when you've got nothing more to say.
