Godzilla Has a Midlife Crisis

What am I doing with my life
Now that I've hit the big four-oh
I've trampled every town I've been in
Crushed the tiny rooftops in and
Now there's no place left to go
I saw my analyst this morning
I wept openly and freely
I said, "Doc, who am I really?
Just an overweight chameleon
Who's had his career."
It's been a monstrous year
What am I doing with my life
Can't even hold a steady job
I'm working every other summer
Then I hit the skids and bum around
With Mothra and The Blob
I need to boost my TVQ
According to my agent, Herschel
Do a Rogaine infomercial
Or a Donahue, or worse you'll see me
Stompin' through Lear
It's been a monstrous year
I miss the days of reigning terror over Toyko
Now they tell me that's too hokey, oh,
What do they know?!
I miss my dad
I never told him that I loved him
Guess I never shoulda shoved him
Into that volcano...
(Remember that one?)
Oh, God, I'm messin' up my life
Who'd have believed it in my youth
That I'd be bothered by the weather
Gettin' short of fiery breath or
Get so long in the tooth
I had a wife, a sweet iguana
But I didn't understand her
Then I started to philander
With an underaged salamander
In a push-up brassiere
It's been a monstrous year
It's been a monstrous year
