Year of the Dragon

(Martha's song on The McGarrigle Hour CD from 1998) Here comes the daddy He's gonna knock me off my feet Here comes the daddy He's gonna knock us off our feet Won't have to push too hard with me I'm at the time these days where I'm easy I will take the plunge & I will fall I'll get up when I hit the floor Falling down Watching the world rise above my head Sky opens & something somewhere Becomes dead Becomes dead Something's born Natural or environmental My freewheeling towards the emotional I will not hoard my chips I will put them all on the table I will win them back I know that I'm able I was born in the Year of The Dragon The one to prize Where everything & everybody Is on my side I've got you on my side Twenty one is a good age to be Forgiven your faults & praised For the newness of one of your ideas Some people hate me They say that I'm too free But one day soon I'll be just like them And hate people just like me So let me be Ah...
