lyrics

She picked it up while shopping at the mall
From the toy store window, it seemed to call
Now every choice she makes, big or small
Is governed by her Magic 8-Ball

I told her that I'd really like to date her
But the 8-Ball said to "ASK AGAIN LATER"
There's not a girl who I consider greater
Though I think that little ball wants me to hate her

She's indecisive as can be
Logic is the enemy
'Cause any choice, big or small
Is governed by her Magic 8-Ball

I asked her what the Ball was all about
She said that it was something that she couldn't live without
Then, once again, I tried to ask her out
This time the 8-Ball said "WITHOUT A DOUBT"

She's indecisive as can be
Logic is the enemy
'Cause any choice, big or small
Is governed by her Magic 8-Ball

For our three-year anniversary
I took her out, then got down on one knee
Then asked if she would like to marry me
She shook the Ball, then said "DEFINITELY"

She's indecisive as can be
Logic is the enemy
'Cause any choice, big or small
Is governed by her Magic 8-Ball

Our son was born down at the Royal Vic
We didn't know what baby name to pick
So when it came time to name our baby boy
She left it up to me, and I flipped a coin

She's indecisive as can be
Logic is the enemy
'Cause any choice, big or small
Is governed by her Magic 8-Ball

Is governed by her Magic 8-Ball
Is governed by her Magic 8-Ball
Is governed by her Magic 8-Ball
