| 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!
|
