There's a hole in my airbed

(Tune: "There's a hole in my bucket".)

There's a hole in my airbed
Dear Liza, dear Liza
There's a hole in my airbed
Dear Liza, a hole.

Then mend it
Dear Magnus, dear Magnus, dear Magnus
Then mend it, dear Magnus
Dear Magnus, mend it!

But how shall I mend it?
Dear Liza, dear Liza
But how shall I mend it
Dear Liza, how?

With glue,
Dear Magnus, dear Magnus, dear Magnus
With glue, dear Magnus
Dear Magnus, with glue!

But where can I get it?
Dear Liza, dear Liza
But where can I get it,
Dear Liza, where?

In the mall,
Dear Magnus, dear Magnus, dear Magnus
In the mall, dear Magnus
Dear Magnus, in the mall!

But how do I get there?
Dear Liza, dear Liza
But how do I get there,
Dear Liza, how?

In your car,
Dear Magnus, dear Magnus, dear Magnus
In your car, dear Magnus
Dear Magnus, in your car!

But I've been drinking
Dear Liza, dear Liza
But I've been drinking,
Dear Liza, drinking.

So sleep it off!
Dear Magnus, dear Magnus, dear Magnus
So sleep it off, dear Magnus
Dear Magnus, sleep it off!

But where shall I sleep it off?
Dear Liza, dear Liza
But where shall I sleep it off,
Dear Liza, where?

On your airbed!
Dear Magnus, dear Magnus, dear Magnus
On your airbed, dear Magnus
Dear Magnus, on your airbed!

But there's a hole in my airbed!

I'm hung over.

    There's no excuse for this post, I know... but my family will recognise the reference. For those not familiar with the original, Liza gets progressively more exasperated as the song winds on.

    Magnus,

    Even funnier to me since I helped contribute to your being hung over! One too many margaritas eh?

    Magnus, had a great time hanging out with this weekend, we're already looking forward to our next visit.

    Bíddu annars. Hvað er maður gamall þegar maður (supposedly) er hættur að fá stórkostlega timburmenn? Vegna þess að maður er orðinn svo "fullorðinn" og skynsamur! m.
