Terry (RIP)

Terry was a vegetable
You know I think he said he was an onion
He lived next door to a tea towel
In the cupboard under the sink
Terry was my best friend
For the best of seventeen months
Then his skin went grey
And he really started to stink
Well, I wonder have you ever
Seen an onion crying
Coz I looked down at Terry
That's exactly what I saw
Terry looked at me and said
"It feels as though I'm dying"
"I'm crying coz it seems that I've done nothing with my life at all"
And I said, "Terry (Terry)
Don't worry about a thing it's gunna be alright (alright)
You funny little onion
Oh, Terry (Terry)
I'm here with you tonight and everything's fine"
But Terry was still worried about his life
And the fact that he hadn't carved out much of a career for himself
He said "My brother got a job on a pizza
And me dad was the best in show
Me sister and me mam
They were both onion rings
But I just sit in this cupboard
And I sometimes talk to you
I could have been so many different things"
And I said, "Terry (Terry)
Don't worry about a thing it's gunna be alright (alright)
You funny little onion
Oh, Terry (Terry)
I'm here with you tonight and everything's fine"
I said "Terry stop your crying
Coz you helped me write this song
Soon on radio stations it'll be playing
With your photo on the album
And your name on the cd
You'll be a superstar just like Kurt Cobain"
(Terry wants a cracker)
And all the kids in highschools
Right across the land
They'll all agree that Terry was the best
And every single one of them
Will be proud to wear a t-shirt
With a picture of an onion on their chest
They'll all sing, "Terry (Terry)
Don't worry about a thing it's gunna be alright (alright)
You funny little onion
Oh, Terry (Terry)
I'm here with you tonight and everything's fine"
They'll all sing, "Terry (Terry)
Don't worry about a thing it's gunna be alright (alright)
You funny little onion
Oh, Terry (Terry)
I'm here with you tonight and everything's fine"
