Ego Trip © 2001 David Roth

 

I drag my suitcase down the hall, another day, another ball

Straight outta bed and off I go, my very favorite travel show

I pop the bag, it’s full of stuff, I never quite unload enough

But I’ll make room, I’ll get a grip, I’m packing for my ego trip

 

CHORUS

I’m packing for my ego trip

I’ve got a lifetime membership

I’m well rehearsed and well-equipped

I’m packing for my ego trip

 

I’ll start with pride and self-esteem, eternal youth and fading genes

I always squeeze some extra socks right underneath my writer’s blocks

My shaving kit is six feel tall, it holds the mirror on the wall

Reflecting me, myself and I, my three most favorite passers-by

 

CHORUS

 

Today I’ll start by ending world hunger

Take a break for lunch and win Olympic Gold

Just before my nap at three, I’ll sell a coupla million CDs

My wing at the Smithsonian is something to behold

 

Sometimes I walk, sometimes I drive, sometimes I crawl, sometimes I fly

My travel agent loves me cuz I’m tripping every minute

And when I'm not in my right mind, my left one’s overflowing

Then I know I’ve gone way past my psyche’s legal baggage limit

 

CHORUS
