Lyrics Dream Life Of Rand McNallyJason: lemme tell ya somethin..
Who is he? Mr. Rand McNally Who-o-o-o is he? Well I had a dream that mystery was me, now Who-o-o else could I be? Cause I dreamed I went to England and met the Spice Girls there for tea They'd lost one more, they're down from four to my favorite number three But they're still quite spicy, as the orange flavor And oh so nice to do me the favor and lick my icing under the table now But I gotta leave town Mr. Nally Just as Scary Spice was about to go down on me But don't ask how Mr. Nally, give it the towel, Mr. Nally And run a-ru ru run a-ru ru run run run
I dreamed I went to Singapore, got bored and robbed a liquor store What for? nobody knows, I only took a couple of Marlboros Oh that was all they needed and the criminal was soon defeated And now in jail I'm waiting for my punishment of caining But I gotta think fast, Mr. Nally, watch your ass Ooooh, say wake up and laugh, Mr. Nally And run a-ru ru run a-ru ru run run run away A-run a-ru ru run a-ru ru run run run RUN A better Mr. Run, a betta Mr. Ran, a betta Mr. Mac, Mr. Nally Mr. Run, a betta Mr. Ran and run and run away, ok A betta Mr. Run, a betta Mr. Ran, a betta Mr. Mac, Mr. Nally And run a-ru ru run a-ru ru run, run run
Had a chance to visit the North Pole but it was way to cold to smoke My nose was freezin, i sure could use some coughin and wheezin So, i tried it anyway, and the place went up in flames How was i supposed to know you could catch fire to the snow? Oh Lord, way to go Mr. Nally, way to go oooh Now you're meltin the poles, Mr. Nally A run, a-ru ru run, a-ru ru run, run run away A run, a-ru ru run, a-ru ru run, run run
I jumped ship in NYC, then i headed south to Washington D.C. Didn't think I'd go there, but played some shows there, fancy lucky me And it is really slow there with our new president on tv Too many politicians and liberal christians, they're all set out for me Oh my, cast your vote, Mr. Nally, castrate your vote Ooh, say no you don't, Mr. Nally A-run, a-ru ru run, a-ru ru run, run run away A-run, a-ru ru run, a-ru ru run, run run
I thumbed a ride across the prairie I got hitched in Vegas, yep, I got married To a lady who loved, she thought it'd be funny to gamble all my money And i got stranded without my clothes A little bit fear and loathing heart attack I got chased by the rat pack once in a flashback, singin Viva Las Vegas Singin Viva Las Vegas Singin (scatting) Viva Las Vegas Oh my, I said, Viva Las Vegas I, I (scatting)

I setteled down in San Diego, and smoked a joint with Java Joe And with a grin, he took me...I spilled coffee on my chin And I played my show there, I met my b*tches and hoes there And with my hoily-ho, they kindly let me shake my tail there But one more thing before we go There's never been any place quite like this home For one in a lifetime, maybe, I'd be foolish not to stay Ooooh! I gotta get away, Mr. Nally Runnin to play, ooooh, say, what can i say, Mr. Nally? A-run, a-ru-ru run, a-ru-ru run, run run away A-run a-ru-ru run, a-ru-ru run, run run
