Rex McBean


I’m sure you like arcade games
But have you heard of Rex McBean?
He’s the bearded man who stands all day
In front of the claw machine
He has a box of dollars next to him
And plays game after game, with no breaks
He says, “I’ll get that stuffed pink mouse!
No matter how long it takes.”
He stares at the claw, with joystick in hand
He concentrates, biting his lip
And just when he thinks he’s got the toy
The tricky claw loses its grip
Some people say, “Cut your losses, Rex!
Look how much you’ve already paid!”
But I say, “Rex, don’t ever give up!”
‘Cause I’m the one who owns the arcade
