My mother once said That I'd be sittin' in a hammock Somewhere after school sippin' lemonade, iced tea, limeade Sippin' some ginger ale She told me Never go out in the winter time Never wash the pollen off a bee's behind With your hair skewed and feelin' fine I'll be there Arlington Station I'll be there Arlington Station I'll be there With bells on and every Rikki Tikki Tavi type of silverware I'll be there With bells on and every Rikki Tikki Tavi type of silverware Back in my hometown Where we all knew you were an astronaut With all the shiny suit, funny jokes, powdered ice cream Flashlights and underwear We thought you'd never come home And stay on the beach, stayin' after school Stayin' really late Sippin' some oxygen I'll be there Arlington Station I'll be there Arlington Station I'll be there With bells on and every Rikki Tikki Tavi type of silverware I'll be there With bells on and every Rikki Tikki Tavi type of silverware
