Hey cledus, whad'ya get in the mail?

He-he-he, got a letter from ed.

What's it say?

I don't know. d'you get one?

Well, open it up!

He-hahahahahahaha!

...open it.

I quit my job about a year ago, i'm on a permanent vacation
All i gotta do now is sit back and wait'll my notification
You see, old ed, he's a friend of mine, and he writes me once a week
Sends me my very own winnin' numbers
I'm practically on easy street
Well, i don't know, i reckon ed just likes me a little better'n everybody else
I'm sure he's been tryin' to reach me,
But uh, i've been out on tour with garth brooks. he-hehehehe
Now, you might think pricin' a mercedes might be a jumpin' the gun
But hey, i got a letter from ed today that said i may've already won!

Quit teasin me ed
...quit teasin me ed
My kids need to be fed
...my kids need to be fed
I believed what you said
...i believed what you said
Quit teasin' me ed

You promised me wealth
...you promised me wealth
And a new dodge stealth
...and a new dodge stealth
I'll check the mailbox 'til i'm dead
...i'll check the mailbox 'til i'm dead
Quit teasin' me ed

They say the odds are again' me
But i got my own little scheme
Instead of just one or two, i order all the magazines!
I get glamour, cosmo, redbook, seventeen, good housekeepin', and popular mechanics
I even got bored one time and ordered the joy of ceramics!
Now ed, i can't sing or dance, and i'll never be on star search
But if you don't hurry up 'n send my check, i'm gonna start thinkin' you a jerk
Well, not really ed, doggonnit it's been such a long time
My car's been repo'd, my house note's four month's behind
Ed, i don't mean to complain, and i know you're a busy man
But, could you at least send me one of them early entry prizes
I'm you're biggest fan, i swear!

Quit teasin' me ed
...quit teasin' me ed
My kids need to be fed
...my kids need to be fed
I believed what you said
...i believed what you said
Quit teasin' me ed

You promised me wealth
...you promised me wealth
And a new dodge stealth ...and a new dodge stealth
I'll check the mailbox 'til i'm dead
...i'll check the mailbox 'til i'm dead
Quit teasin' me ed

Cledus t., you may have already won!
