Scene:  Judy in her living room, knitting the ultimate sweater.

[JG]  I’m knitting a sweater for my very best friend,

But sometimes I wonder if I’ll get to the end.

As you can plainly see, it’s got the best of me.

Yards and yards of yellow yarn.

I started in the summer back in 1968,

And that’s a lotta time for a friend to have to wait.

It isn’t hard to tell that I don’t do very well.

Yards and yards of yellow yarn.

Yards and yards of yellow yarn.

Yards and yards of yellow yarn.

If you’d like to see this sweater when I finally have it done,

You can stop by my apartment around 1981.

I really must confess, I’m in a dreadful mess.

Yards and yards of yellow yarn.

Now, perhaps you all are wondering what this fella’s really like,

So I have a little picture of my good true buddy, Mike.

He’s got me in a twid as I knit and knit and knit

Yards and yards of yellow yarn.

Yards and yards of yellow yarn.
