/  –  (2x)
I  had a dream- crispy,  crispy Ben-jamin  Franklin
 Came o-ver  and baby-sat  all four of my kids
Then  in my dream, I told  the doctor off
 He said,  “If you don’t want to do  it, then you don’t have to do  it”
 He said “The truth  is, you’ll be okay  anyway”
Then,  in my dream, crispy,  crispy Ben-  jamin Franklin and the doctor
 Went and  had a talk with my boss
Something  about insurance  policies
 They kept  the door closed at all times
 I couldn’t hear or see
 When they came out,  they said “You’ll be okay  anyway”
 And I smiled  ‘cause I’d known it all the while
 No thank  you, no thank you, no thank  you, no thank you
I  ain’t about to pay for this shit
 I can afford chemo  like I can afford a limo
 And on any given day,  I’d rather ride a limousine
 No thank  you, no thank you, no thank  you, no thank you
I  ain’t about to die like this
 I can afford chemo  like I can afford a limo
 And besides, this shit  is making me tired
 Is making me tired,  is making me tired
 You know I plan to retire  someday
 But mama gonna go  out in style, go  out in style
 This shit  is making me tired
 Is making me tired,  is making me tired
 Mama gonna go  out in style, go  out in style
When  I woke up, the kids  were being quiet
 I knew  it was a dream
 Right away  I called the limousine company
Then  I got dressed, I dressed  the kids as well
 The limousine  pulled in  and we piled in
 The driver,  he asked which way  we were headed
 I said “Sir, let’s  just go west” and he listened  obediently
Sophie  only wants to  listen to radio BBC
Michael  sat on my knees  and whispered to me  all about the meanies
Jacqueline  was being such a big  girl with her cup  of tea
 Looking out of the window
 And Barbara,  she looks just like my mom
 Oh my Barbara,  she looks so much like my mom
 No thank  you, no thank you, no thank  you, no thank you
I  ain’t about to pay for this shit
 I can afford chemo  like I can afford a limo
 And on any given day,  I’d rather ride a limousine
 No thank  you, no thank you, no thank  you, no thank you
I  ain’t about to die like this
 I can afford chemo  like I can afford a limo
 And besides, this shit  is making me tired
 Is making me tired,  is making me tired
 You know I plan to retire  someday
 But mama gonna go  out in style, go  out in style
 This shit  is making me tired
 Is making me tired,  is making me tired
 Mama gonna go  out in style, go  out in style
Style. Style. Style. Style.
