THE HECK I GIVE (THE SPECK SONG)

On the northwest corner of the southeast side of the southern half

Of the Fargo, North Dakota portion of my heart

About six steps from a maple tree there’s a rock, well, more like a pebble you see

Underneath there’s a tiny mark

And if you catch the light just right there’s a speck

That’s ten times as big as the heck that I give about you

Take a trip to another place, ride a rocket ship into outer space

To Jupiter, go left at the second moon

On the dark side there’s a lunar hole, every now and then a solar wind will blow

The dust will cover up your shoe

The dust is a lot like that speck

That’s ten times as big as the heck that I give about you

That speck just won’t go away

Grows bigger every day

But find a dusty old stack of magazines, go to June 1963

Page ten down at the bottom

There’s JFK in a fluffy robe eating dinner on a deck, you can see his toes

His slippers, I think they’re cotton

Underneath his foot there’s a speck

That’s ten times as big as the heck that I give about you

That speck just won’t go away

Grows bigger every day

I think that speck’s here to stay

On the northwest corner of the southeast side of the southern half

Of the Fargo, North Dakota portion of my heart

There’s….  you

Yeah you, there’s always been you, there’s…. you
