You made the right

decision, buddy.

Thanks, Jay.

[ Dean and Britta:

Ginger Snaps]

MAN:

When the cowboy sings

WOMAN:

When the Saturn rings

When the ginger snaps

When the thunder claps

You can cut my hair

You can fill my cup

You can tell me lies

You can make it up

BOTH:
We're gonna make it

after all

I don't need to know

Who's right or wrong

It's not a crime

To change your mind

When the kitchen sinks

When the sugar winks

When the doctor calls

When Niagara falls

I'm a wayward Tom

I'm a silver streak

And the walls have ears

But the walls don't speak

We're gonna make it

after all

I don't need to know

who's right or wrong

It's not a crime

To change your mind

Don't need to know

Don't need to know

Don't need to know

Don't need to know

Don't need to know

Don't need to know

Don't need to know

[Music fades out]
