Beginning Of A Great Adventure Lyrics by Lou Reed

Beginning Of A Great Adventure Lyrics

    It might be fun to have a kid that i could kick around
    A little me to fill up with my thoughts
    A little me or he or she to fill up with my dreams
    A way of saying life is not a loss

    I'd keep the tyke away from school and tutor him myself
    Keep him from the poison of the crowd
    But then again pristine isolation might not be the best idea
    It's not good trying to immortalize yourself

    Beginning of a great adventure
    Beginning of a great adventure

    Why stop at one, i might have ten, a regular tv brood
    I'd breed a little liberal army in the wood
    Just like these redneck lunatics i see at the local bar
    With their tribe of mutant inbred piglets with cloven hooves

    I'd teach 'em how to plant a bomb, start a fire, play guitar
    And if they catch a hunter, shoot him in the nuts
    I'd try to be as progressive as i could possibly be
    As long as i don't have to try too much

    Beginning of a great adventure
    Beginning of a great adventure

    Susie, jesus, bogart, sam, leslie, jill and jeff
    Rita, winny, andy, fran and jet
    Boris, bono, lucy, ethel, bunny, reg and tom
    That's a lot of names to try not to forget

    Carrie, marlon, mo and steve, la rue and jerry lee
    Eggplant, rufus, dummy, star and the glob
    I'd need a damn computer to keep track of all these names
    I hope this baby thing don't go too far

    I hope it's true what my wife said to me
    I hope it's true what my wife said to me, hey
    I hope it's true what my wife said to me

    She says, "baby, it's the beginning of a great adventure"
    "babe, beginning of a great adventure"
    Take a look

    It might be fun to have a kid that i could kick around
    Create in my own image like a god
    I'd raise my own pallbearers to carry me to my grave
    And keep me company when i'm a wizened toothless clod

    Some gibbering old fool sitting all alone drooling on his shirt
    Some senile old fart playing in the dirt
    It might be fun to have a kid i could pass something on to
    Something better than rage, pain, anger and hurt

    I hope it's true what my wife said to me
    I hope it's true what my wife said to me
    I hope it's true what my wife said to me
    She says, "lou, it's the beginning of a great adventure"
    "lou, lou, lou, beginning of a great adventure"
    She says, "babe, how you call your lover boy"
    "sylvia, quite you call your lover man"
