| ==Text==
| |
| : Last night, while I lay thinking here,
| |
| : some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
| |
| : and pranced and partied all night long
| |
| : and sang their same old Whatif song:
| |
| : Whatif I'm dumb in school?
| |
| : Whatif they've closed the swimming pool?
| |
| : Whatif I get beat up?
| |
| : Whatif there's poison in my cup?
| |
| : Whatif I start to cry?
| |
| : Whatif I get sick and die?
| |
| : Whatif I flunk that test?
| |
| : Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
| |
| : Whatif nobody likes me?
| |
| : Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?
| |
| : Whatif I don't grow talle?
| |
| : Whatif my head starts getting smaller?
| |
| : Whatif the fish won't bite?
| |
| : Whatif the wind tears up my kite?
| |
| : Whatif they start a war?
| |
| : Whatif my parents get divorced?
| |
| : Whatif the bus is late?
| |
| : Whatif my teeth don't grow in straight?
| |
| : Whatif I tear my pants?
| |
| : Whatif I never learn to dance?
| |
| : Everything seems well, and then
| |
| : the nighttime Whatifs strike again!
