Lost My Pot

[Verse 1]
I lost my pot, where did it go?
A-Trouble with my pot
Did I leave it in my school locker or drop it in the park?
It’s not on my bedside table behind the L/O clock
It's stuffed in a baggy inside of an old canister wrapped up in a sock

[Chorus]
Oh no I lost my pot
My mother found it now I’m caught
What can I say? My parents are sending me away

[Verse 2]
I tried to run I tried to hide, my father called the cops
They caught me with a strippy at the corner-store parking lot
My mother cried before they said good-bye, it’s time for you to leave
You’ll be sent away to cure you of this terrible disease

[Chorus]
Oh no I lost my pot
My mother found it now I’m caught
What can I say? My parents are sending me away

[Bridge 1]
I’ll become what I become
Don’t take me as I am if you can’t find a better son
I’ll become what I become, yeah
Here I go!

[Piano Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh no I lost my pot
My mother found it now I’m caught
What can I say? My parents are sending me away

[Verse 3]
Dear Mom and Dad, I write this note to tell you that I’m fine
The air is clean and all the ex-Marines really keep us all in line
I’ve met so many new friends and we all feel so reformed
Now when can I come home? (Attention! March!)

[Bridge 2]
I’ve become what I become
But a boot camp for delinquents was never part
Of the sequence I had planned for my life (Three! Hut!)

[Chorus]
Oh no I lost my pot
My mother found it now I’m caught
What can I say? My parents are sending me away
If you’re a friend, you’ll live more today
