Your Light Bulb

by: The Lauderdale

[Sung by a random fan-femme to the tune of White Town's "Your Woman"]

I've watched you robbing banks and jewelry stores,
I've cheered you on as you've fought Darkwing Duck,
Laughed as you propositioned a light bulb--
But thought deep down that it had all the luck.
Now I know your concept of romance;
How could I have thought I had a chance?
Yes, now I know, now I can plainly see
You would clearly never spare a glance for me--

I've acted so foolishly!

So I guess what they say is true:
I could never be the right number watt for you--
I could never be your light bulb.
I could never be your light bulb.
I could never be your light bulb.
Oh, I could never be your light bulb.

Well, I met a fan-femme yesterday:
She said to me that you weren't all that hot.
Hey, I'll admit that you may have your flaws,
But I can't help but think of what you've got.
You are such a crazy kooky rat--
How could anybody not want that?
Is it your cool jumpsuit? I don't know,
But your lighthouse is where I want to go.

That's all that I have to say.

But I guess what they say is true:
I could never be the right kind of light for you--
I could never be your light bulb.
I could never be your light bulb.
I could never be your light bulb.
Oh, I could never be your light bulb.

[Instrumental]

Oh, I guess what they say is true:
I could never spend my life with a rat like you--
I could never be your light bulb.
I could never be your light bulb.
I could never be your light bulb.
Oh, I could never be your light bulb.
