Dare Devil

I was a dare devil,
I always raised the level,
I got scars from being hit by cars
And bruises for jumping off huge cruisers
I climbed trees and got attacked by bees
I flew overseas with 10 mad chimpanzees
I climbed to the top of the Eiffel Tower,
Didn't even cower
I even fought a lion named Brian.
But then one day I dropped down dead,
They claimed I ate a bit of poisoned bread
So know I’m up here drinking coke and beer
Thinking that if I went back I‘d be a cat,
With nine lives and no fear.
