Just a sec more in my bed
Hope my machine's working right
When it's just precisely tuned
That shit's gonna be so nice

[Chorus]
Make sure my kid's got a jacket
Keys and coat and shoes and hat
Strap a stroller to my back
Bouncing along every crack

What good is it to make it fast
Sing a song to pass the playground
What can I do as traffic pass
Guard my girl from muffler's black gas
What can I do to make it fast
Pop a jump but not too hard
And we'll end up at the ramp
Stop and look at the traffic signal

Sec more in my bed
Hope my machine's working right
When it's just precisely tuned
That shit's gonna be so nice

[Chorus]

What good is it to make it fast
Sing a song to pass the playground
What can I do as traffic pass
Guard my girl from muffler's black gas
What can I do to make it fast
Pop a jump but not too hard
And we'll end up at the ramp
Stop and look at the traffic signal

    That's what it sounds like to me but how do you strap a stroller to your back?
    I love this song so much! It's so cute... I wish my dad wrote songs like this for me.

    General Comment:God, maybe my favorite from MPP. When they played it at Bonnaroo this year, it was insane... he did the closing for like six minutes, just singing, "Just a sec more in my bed" part over and over with the crashing piano... so awesome!

    General Comment:i made an account just to say that the intro organ that gradually speeds up eventually sounds like an alarm clock that wakes him up to start his day, then as he hits the snooze the vocals kick in. dont think about that listening to it on headphones at work. u may start tearing up. i did when i noticed it after the 50th listen. THEN after the final "TRAFFIC SIGNAL" the organ kicks back in you can picture a traffic light going bonkers to the sound and it eventually fades back to him in bed with the alarm clock going off as he is asking for "just a sec more".....
