You wake up in the morning
21 years old you be
Some people call you "Keet"
And also "BLP"
A fine idea has surfaced
And we all want to see
Your handmade sculpture for
R.E.M.'s own Bertis D.

Open the oven
The sculpture is amazing
Lately... you're shaking...
So nervous you can be

You dearly hope that somehow we could
Catch it all on film
Bertis' reaction would be priceless
On each and every still
Your artistic skill level shines
When you paint the wings
You're adding in a golf club
So the bird's about to swing

Open the oven
Your sculpture is amazing
Lately... you're shaking...
So nervous you can be

You chat it up on MSN
Where Murmursians reside
Tony, Pat, Jordan, Jems and Dave
And Ziona and Britt say hi**
When the 21st Century sleeps
We'll still be chatting in the sky
Berry, Downs, Mills and Stipe are there
And St. Peter's flying by

Open the oven
The sculpture is amazing
Lately... you're shaking...
So nervous you can be
Open the oven
Your sculpture is amazing
Lately... you're shaking...
So nervous you can be

You wake up in the morning
21 years old you be
So now you're currently
The same age as Jordan Steep

**Sorry, I had no room to put everyone I wanted to include.  Yeah, that means YOU.
