Nellie McKay Oversure lyrics

Maxine Shrek was a very lucky lady
Maxine Shrek was a very lucky girl
Who you wanna be? Maxine Shrek
Who you wanna see? Maxine Shrek

Have you got some time?
Have you got some spine?
Have you got something to begin with
Or are you in a sandwich?

Have you got some nerve?
Have you got some verve?
Have you got something to depend on
Or do you fender bend on?

And if you say no
Do you mean to go down
Below the earth with nothing?

Have you got my name?
Have you got my fame?
Have you got something to remind you of who you used to be
Or are you happy being me?


Moonlight and roses
Starlight and fairy tales that won't come true
Good news for those who pine away
The day comes shining through

Kittens high hatting
Sitting on satin with a host whose cat nip [Incomprehensible]
For those who seize the day
The way is paved be yonder

I didn't know the world was like this
If I'd have known, then I'd be psychic
If I had a clue, then maybe I'd be blue as a mockingbird
Why do you think she laughs so much?

I didn't know, I had such problems
If I'd have known, then I'd have solved them
But looking down the road
The Oklahoma toes beckoning to me
