Words and music by Kevin Closs and Eric Closs

lyrics

It was a little piece of heaven "bout a mile from Terrace Bay
In a 24 foot mobile home with a baby on the way
They had a little dog named Roachclip, half Rottie, halfe Maltese
He's tending bar down at The Pump and she's part time at Marie's
And their favourite food was pizza and their favourite show was Friends
No car no phone no Internet and a Kwik Mart 'round the bend
Yeah, but one day trouble found them as you know it often does
When a 649 with encore put ten grand in their paws

Well Sydney called her sister then and her sister told her, "Syd,
Get yourself an RESP and start savin' for the kid.
Yeah, but Ron had other notions and he really like the sound
Of a 52 inch Samsung with 5.1 Surround
Well, they got into a fight then and they couldn't sort it out
So Ron went down to Future Shop and left Sydney home to pout
So she packed up her old suitcase and she bid the dog farewell
Bought a one-way Greyhound ticket to her mother's in Nobel

Well Ron he got the big-screen, yeah, but it's still in the box
He watches Friends with Roachclip now on their old Maganvox
And the moral of the story, and it ain't to hard to spot
Be careful what you're wishing for if you don't know what you've got
