BRUCE COCKBURN WITH A TWIST
-- One Day I Bowl --

Index



Rewrite of "One Day I Walk," begun by Rob Caldwell/ completed by Chris Sullivan

Oh I have been a bowler
And shall be one again
And few the ones who've knocked down pins
The way I did back then...

Chorus:
One day I bowl on coffee
One day I bowl on beer
Today I bowl in alleys
And gutters too, I fear

I've split the ten and seven
And spared the frame as well
I've spared out clad in tartan plaid
And every shirt but mine

Chorus

It's once I got my finger caught
You never saw the like
My ball and me we spun downtown
By heck, we got a strike!

Chorus

One day I started singing
They thought I was a loon
And you could carry a jumbo jet
If I could carry a tune

Chorus

My bowling days I left behind
I thought I was a star
That's why I'm in this parking lot
Just trying to steal your car

Chorus
