The Ballad of Haggis McMuffin
Haggis McMuffin[1] loves his whiskey in the morning
More than a squirrel loves its nuts
I like the sweet potato fries at Lucky Platter [2]
But I love you more
There's a castle on the hill
There's a spaceship in the sky
Take my hand before the king of fools declares the end,
the end is nigh [3]
Romeo and what's-her-face were briefly lovers
Ahab and Moby had a thing [4]
Mulder and Scully have been valentines for ages
You and I longer still
There's a castle on the hill
There's a spaceship in the sky
Take my hand before the king of fools declares the end,
the end is nigh
I will love you always even when there are no zip codes
Or wi-fi[5] on demand
There's a spaceship on the hill
There's a castle in the sky
Take my hand before the king of fools declares the end,
the end is nigh
