I am the Theme from MASH Guy,
My kids are the theme from MASH Guy?s kids,
My sister is the sister of the guy who wrote
The theme from MASH
It?s all I ever did
It might be all I ever do
I sit in a room in a house
Built from the proceeds of the theme from
MASH
It?s my legacy
I will always be
To everybody and to me
The guy who wrote the theme
From MASH!
Whenever anybody does a version
Of the theme from MASH
They are legally required
To send me a copy
Of their version of the theme
I spend all day listening
To recordings of versions of the theme from MASH
I?m building more shelving
So I can store the tapes of the recordings
Of the versions of the theme from?
MASH
It?s my legacy
I will always be
To everybody and to me
The guy who wrote the theme
From MASH!
And on every spine
Of every tape
On every shelf I see
The actual name
Of the theme from MASH
Is staring back at me
It?s Suicide is Painless
Maybe in retrospect
I should have called the song
The theme from MASH
