Mick Brady (Bopper) has some very funny songs in the works for his next CD. One that is a collaboration with me, "I Love My Wife," was posted on Mick's site a few weeks back. If you haven't heard it, check it out (among other things, it has extremely cool harmonies). Mick had the idea for "My Malaprop Baby," and he asked me to chip in a bit with the lyrics. My Malaprop Baby Words by Jeff Mondak and Mick Brady Music by Mick Brady Performed by Mick Brady If I tell her that I adore her The feeling is neutral, she’d say She won’t let a gift horse into the house ‘cause Rome wasn’t burnt in a dayShe says she likes to sing Acapulco With garlics of flowers in her hair She wants to keep me in suspenders And snuggle like a polo bear She’s my malaprop baby All her similes crash She’s my malaprop baby And her metaphors clash The mother tongue should be offended By the phrases she has blended She’s my malaprop baby And she loves to talk trash She says our love won’t fade into Bolivian Though we’re only living head to toe She put her chickens all in one basket When she shot me with stupid’s bowShe swears she won’t mince her punches Or upset my apple tart She wants to go to Rome to see the sixteenth chapel ‘cause she loves that renegade art She’s my malaprop baby And all her words are abused She’s my malaprop baby Got me feeling confused Her garbled talk should leave me reeling Still, I find her tongue appealing She’s my malaprop baby And she won’t be refusedWhen the sacred cows come home to roost It’s better to switch than to fight It’s no pigment of my imagination I’ll be loving that lady tonight She’s my malaprop baby Her expressions collide She’s my malaprop baby And she won’t be denied I’m so glad that she insisted ‘cause like her words, this lady's twisted She’s my malaprop baby And I’m lovin’ the ride
