[Verse 1: Pendleton Ward]
How pleasant to be living in the present
A peasant eating crud instead of pheasant
Just like this cat and dirty adolescent
To feed, that's all I need

[Verse 2: Pendleton Ward]
I'm fab and fit and fine and firm and able
No longer need a baby for a table
Come pin me down with any kind of label
I'm freed, I'm free
That's all I need, that's all I need

[Verse 3: Pendleton Ward]
I also need this cup
Don't bother getting up
Farewell to fancy friends and party platters
I'm happy now and that is all that matters
So take my lead and heed my creed
That's all you need, that's all you need!
