Story behind the song
On December 1, 1998, I passed through a portal I would rather not have been destined for. My best friend, a best friend to many, Mr. Lenny Kurtz passed away, and I was the one to find his lifeless body. “Creature of Habit” is my tribute to him and to who and what he was. R.I.P. old friend… may the afterlife be kinder to you than the rigors of this world were.
Lyrics

CREATURE OF HABIT:


© 1998 by Lydia Glider – Shelley
Verse 1:
He was a creature of habit, doin’ what he wanted to… And just like the white rabbit, always had a lot to do!
His telephone and his cable t.v. were where he spent most of his time:
But it wasn’t always like that, livin’ down to his last dime!
Climb:
When I met him he was well off…
And spread it all around!
You could always count on him…
When the chips were down!
Verse 2:
Sharing his passion for food with him was always such a delight!
He could really tell a story…while he savored every bite! Potato pancakes with sour cream, a Chinese buffet… Maybe bagels and nova, or some sushi today:
Chorus:
What do I want?! What do I want?! What do I want?!
I can still hear him say…
What do I want?! What do I want?!
He was a creature of habit, and we loved him that way!
Verse 3:
He used to travel to New York, California, and Thailand, as well:
Bringing back beautiful treasures, to give away and to sell.
Yes, he was a salesman, and a very good one, really:
He spent his life as a broker, of goods both serious and silly (repeat climb and chorus)
tag: he was a creature of habit, just a creature of habit… he was a creature of habit, and we loved him that way.
