Pilly

I'm Pilly. That's me, falling down the stairs, in the picture. That's the best photo there is of me. I'm the smartest person in the world. I graduated from high school when I was eight days old. Now I'm two, and I have gone to every college in the world. I have started four of my own, and now I am rich. Being the smartest person in the world, I am world famous. Everyday I get calls from companies asking me to endorse their products, calls from agents recommending me for plays, calls from directors asking me to star in their movie. I was in the play "Annie" as Annie! There are currently thirty three movies about the biography of Pilly. But life isn't all glamour for me. My family is scary and horrible. There's mommy and daddy and Aunt Jenny and Uncle Richard Simmons and Gramma and Granny and step mother Mary Wanda and step-grandmother Matrinksha and Cousin Crud and my dog Smush and my sister Quaddy, to name a few. Mommy is kind to me, no matter how bad I am, Daddy is never around, Aunt Jenny is nice and easy to take advantage of. Uncle Richard Simmons wants me to work out with him and I'm pretty sure he's gay. Gramma is older than anyone in the world and is green, I'm so scared of her! She gives me prunes and invites me to come with her to the public bath. Granny is always feeding Grandpa Lard Crisps. Mary Wanda is always cruel to me, she hits me and beats me and calls me names and hits me! Her mother is oblivious and tells me about how modern music gives her the pops. Cousin Crud is from outer space and doesn't speak English, my dog Smush is dead, and Quaddy lives in Japan. She used to live in China, but she killed Pow Chung, the most loved man in all of China, and was ostracized.
I used to have a boyfriend, named Tom, but I dumped him. Mommy won't let me go to the creek with out an adult, and I wanted to go, and Tom (he's seventeen) wouldn't take me! I begged and pleaded, I told him that if he really loved me, he would take me! But he didn't! He didn't take me! So I broke up with him and sang my favorite song.

At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side.
But then I spent so many nights just thinking how you done me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along!
So now you're back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look apon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I would have made you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me!

CHORUS:

Go now, just
Walk out the door
Just turn around
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one
Who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive!
I will survive!
Hey hey-y-y-y-y!

It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart,
Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent so many nights just feelin' sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high!
And if you see me with
Somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you thought you'd just stop by
And you expect me to be free,
But now I'm savin' all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' me!

CHORUS:

Go now, just
Walk out the door
Just turn around
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive!
I will survive!
Yeah yeah-h-h-h-h!
