REJECTION IS MY FRIEND

WORDS & MUSIC:   Earl P. Reinhalter


             I.  when I was just a kid
                 living in the dead end,
                 mama and papa said:
                 rejection is your friend.
                 when I was in defeat,
                 I never woulda bought it.
                 now I want to repeat:
                 rejection is my friend.
                 in the night time
                 and in the daytime
                 and might-makes-right time,
                 rejection is my friend.

            II.  now it got to the point
                 that he was in the bedroom.
                 you would get outta joint
                 if you had such a friend.
                 how long I gotta wait
                 just to make some headroom?
                 how can I penetrate
                 this old cocoon?

        SPOKEN:  would you like to buy a vacuum cleaner?  (no!)
                 how 'bout a set of encyclopedias?  (no!)
                 may I have this dance?  (no!)
                 won't you take a chance?  (no!)
                 can I have your baby?  (no!)

        ENDING:  I don't pay child support.
                 I don't pay alimony.
                 you won't see me in court.
                 rejection is my friend.
                 rejection is my friend.
                 rejection is my friend.
