Let's Make The Water Turn Black/Harry, You're A Beast/The Orange County Lumber Truck |
Now believe me when I tell you that my song is really true |
I want everyone to listen and believe |
It’s about some little people from a long time ago |
And all the things the neighbors didn’t know |
Early in the morning Daddy Dinky went to work |
Selling lamps & chairs to San Ber’dino squares |
And I still remember Mama with her apron & her pad |
Feeding all the boys at Ed’s Cafe! |
Whizzing & pasting & pooting through the day … |
(Ronnie helping Kenny helping burn his poots away!) |
And all the while on a shelf in the shed: |
KENNY’S LITTLE CREATURES ON DISPLAY! |
Ronnie saves his numies on a window in his room |
(A marvel to be seen: dysentery green) |
While Kenny & his buddies had a game out in the back: |
LET’S MAKE THE WATER TURN BLACK |
We see them after school in a world of their own |
(To some it might seem creepy what they do …) |
The neighbors on the right sat & watched them every night |
(I bet you’d do the same if they was you) |
Whizzing & pasting & pooting through the day … |
(Ronnie helping Kenny helping burn his poots away!) |
And all the while on a shelf in the shed: |
KENNY’S LITTLE CREATURES ON DISPLAY! |
Ronnie’s in the Army now & Kenny’s taking pills |
Oh! |
How they yearn to see a bomber burn! |
Color flashing, thunder crashing, dynamite machine! |
(Wait till the fire turns green … wait till the fire turns green) |
WAIT TILL THE FIRE TURNS GREEN! |
I’m gonna tell you the way it is |
And I’m not gonna be kind or easy |
Your whole attitude stinks, I say |
And the life you lead is completely empty |
You paint your head |
Your mind is dead |
You don’t even know what I just said |
THAT’S YOU: AMERICAN WOMANHOOD! |
You’re phony on top |
You’re phony underneath |
You lay in bed & grit your teeth |
MADGE, I WANT YOUR BODY! |
HARRY, GET BACK! |
MADGE, IT’S NOT MERELY PHYSICAL! |
HARRY, YOU’RE A BEAST! |
Don’t come in me, in me |
Don’t come in me, in me |
Don’t come in me, in me |
Don’t come in me, in me |
MADGE, I. .. MADGE. |
.. I COULDN’T HELP IT |
I. .. DOGGONE IT! |
(Instrumental) |
