Electric Heating Pad lyrics
Saturday, February 02, 2008
Listen
I love my two electric heating pads
At a hundred eighty degrees Fahrenheit
I lay them in my bed, one at the foot and one at the head
If it weren't for heating pads I would be dead.
I love the seat warmer in my car
I love the butt warmer in my car
In a world of ice and snow it warms you from below
If it wasn't for butt warmers I'd stay home
I love the dog who curls up at my feet
The old dog who curls up at my feet
He smells and he sheds hair but he warms the bed down there
I love the dog who curls up at my feet.
There's nothing like a hot bath to get in
And sit in steaming water to your chin
Run more hot if it gets cold, hear it gurgle in the overflow
Sit in a bath and wash away your sins.
I love to put my pajamas in the dryer
Let them tumble round with the heat up higher
The flannel fits my form and keeps me toasty warm
Especially with an electric heating pad.
Did I mention my electric heating pad?
It's the best heating pad I ever had.
Turn the temperature up high and it feels just like July
And I lie in bed with a dog at my feet. (WOOF WOOF)
And pajamas that are warm from the dryer.
Amen.

A national holiday in Lake Wobegon is always gaudy and joyful. But what is going on between Clint Bunsen and Miss Liberty?
Everyone is here—Pastor Ingqvist, the Sons of Knute, Sister Arvonne of Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility and her ocarina band, the Norwegian bachelor farmers, Dorothy and the Chatterbox Café, Wally in the Sidetrack Tap—as crowds converge on the little town to celebrate American independence, even as the chairman of the event broods on the great question of the day: Shall we struggle on valiantly here or shall we burst the bonds and find beautiful life in the golden west?
