For E.S.V.M.
My candle burns at both ends;
Wow, how do you hold it!
It will not last the night;
I guess from the middle?!
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends
Then you have to keep it horizontal!
It gives a lovely light!
Wax goes everywhere!
My candle burns at both ends;
Yippee! We can see again!
It will not last the night;
Two flames are better than one!
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends
Aren't they?
It gives a lovely light!
I guess I'm speaking out of turn!!
My candle burns at both ends;
Zowee! A party!
It will not last the night;
My night's ninety years long!
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends
How many times do we need to listen to Sting?
It gives a lovely light!
Who's Sting?!!
My candle burns at both ends;
Watt's happening?! Try the new bulbs!!
It will not last the night;
Things couldn't be better!
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends
Sorry, things just got better!
It gives a lovely light!
Things just got best of all!!!!!!!!!!!
