He-he-he, got a letter from Ed.
What's it say?
I don't know. D'you get one?
Well, open it up!
He-hahahahahahaha!
...Open it.
I quit my job about a year ago, I'm on a permanent vacation All I gotta do now is sit back and wait'll my notification You see, old Ed, he's a friend of mine, and he writes me once a week Sends me my very own winnin' numbers I'm practically on easy street Well, I don't know, I reckon Ed just likes me a little better'n everybody else I'm sure he's been tryin' to reach me, But uh, I've been out on tour with Garth Brooks. He-hehehehe Now, you might think pricin' a Mercedes might be a jumpin' the gun But hey, I got a letter from Ed today that said I may've already won!
Quit teasin me Ed ...Quit teasin me Ed My kids need to be fed ...My kids need to be fed I believed what you said ...I believed what you said Quit teasin' me Ed
You promised me wealth ...You promised me wealth And a new Dodge Stealth ...And a new Dodge Stealth I'll check the mailbox 'til I'm dead ...I'll check the mailbox 'til I'm dead Quit teasin' me Ed
They say the odds are again' me But I got my own little scheme Instead of just one or two, I order All the magazines! I get Glamour, Cosmo, Redbook, Seventeen, Good Housekeepin', and Popular Mechanics I even got bored one time and ordered The Joy Of Ceramics! Now Ed, I can't sing or dance, and I'll never be on Star Search But if you don't hurry up 'n send my check, I'm gonna start thinkin' you a jerk Well, not really Ed, doggonnit it's been such a long time My car's been repo'd, my house note's four month's behind Ed, I don't mean to complain, and I know you're a busy man But, could you at least send me one of them early entry prizes I'm you're biggest fan, I swear!
Quit teasin' me Ed ...Quit teasin' me Ed My kids need to be fed ...My kids need to be fed I believed what you said ...I believed what you said Quit teasin' me Ed
You promised me wealth ...You promised me wealth And a new Dodge Stealth ...And a new Dodge Stealth I'll check the mailbox 'til I'm dead ...I'll check the mailbox 'til I'm dead Quit teasin' me Ed
