The Name Game

What is a name, a name that is not the same.

What a wonderful game, the name.

Parents are to blame for the name,

The name what a wonderful game.

Lance is my name, others have the same,

But Lance is my name.

Lance, where did they get that,

Did they draw it from a hat?

Did they see it on a cat?

What about that?

Lance is my name,

Crackers have the same.

My parents are to blame,

That my name and crackers are the same.

Lance in your pants that make ants dance.

What a wonderful game to play with your name!

Are my parents really to blame?

Maybe I will change my name, the re-name game.

Maybe it will be different; maybe I will keep it the same!

What a wonderful game, the re-name game.

What if my name was Pat, how would I feel about that?

Pat the cat, Pat with a hat! Pat, Pat, who said that?

If I change my name to Pat, what would others think about that?

My name is Lance, and Lance is my name!

What a wonderful game, the game of the name!

To think of a name, what a wonderful game!

Bob, Rob, or even Blob!

Billy, Jack, or Willy, is picking a new name silly?

Maybe Tony, Chad, Steve,

But then who would believe?

Maybe Tom or Harold,

What about John, if you think about it the list goes on and on!

It is always fun to play the re-name game.

If I change my name in this wonderful game,

Then I would be to blame that my name is not the same!

My Name is Lance, and Lance is my name!

I like my name, so I will keep it the same!
