one from me and one from somebody else
isn't it a sad state of affairs
when you got the dulcimer blues
and that cuckoo clock with his
Extra extra read all about it
and it hit everybody suddenly
even mister caruthers with his
pistols poppin and his
little pajamas and your
onion smoking and your camel flipping
just flopping around,
wishin' that wasn't you
carrying around
pictures of your father
who drew your bath
when you were too nervous
to get into the water
why'd you set the table for four
But only two guests been invited
killing the mood, which was set for two
when three showed up
you must tell me, dear,
after you finish taping my advice
who i should ask to leave
you know it isn't polite
to start coughing in your sleeve
and tell your mother
all about my blacklist papers
and the manilla folder with all her pictures
i'm not looking to compromise anybody(especially grandpa)
but it isn't beneath me
she said you can't repeat the past and i said,
you can't? what do you mean you cant?
of COURSE you can!
