Don’t Give Me That Altitude
[Boy]:
Oh no
What's happening to me?
I can't stop growing!
[Wizard]:
Clean your toothpaste off the sink
Wash your clothes before you stink
There's folks around here who think
You might be a hellion
Get your eyes up off that screen
Look how you've upset your Dean
With my watchful eye I've seen
Your teenage rebellion
Don't you remember back when we first met
I was dressed in rags and I came to you as a beggar
And I saw you put sand on your dog and I said these words to you
And now I'll say them to you again
Don't give me that altitude
The way your growing's got me goin' absolutely mental
Can't tell if you're rude or
Just giving me more of that altitude
[Boy]:
The beggar was a wizard all along
But I grew so tall and strong
It makes me wonder what I did wrong
Is it too late for me?
Maybe there's a way for me to fix my fate
I'll throw a dog into the sun!
(Don't throw that dog into the sun!)
[Wizard]:
Don't throw that dog
Don't throw that dog
Don't throw that dog
Don't throw that dog!
Don't give me that altitude
The way your growing's got me goin' absolutely mental
Can't tell if you're rude or
Just giving me more of that altitude
[Boy]:
And I keep growing higher
(That altitude!)
And I keep growing higher
And higher and higher
And higher and higher
And higher and higher
But at least there's no spiders
