A Summer in Ohio |
I could have a mansion on a hill |
I could lease a villa in Seville |
But it wouldn’t be as nice as a summer in Ohio |
With a gay midget named Karl playing Tevye and Porgy |
I could wander Paris after dark |
Take a carriage ride through Central Park |
But it wouldn’t be as nice as a summer in Ohio |
Where I’m sharing a room with a former stripper and her snake |
Wayne |
I could have a satchel full of dollar bills |
Cures for all the nation’s ills |
Pills to make a lion purr |
I could be in line to be the British Queen |
Look like I was seventeen |
Still, I’m certain I’d prefer to be going slowly batty |
Forty miles east of Cincinnati |
I could shove an ice pick in my eye |
I could eat some fish from last July |
But it wouldn’t be as awful as a summer in Ohio |
Without cable, hot water, Vietnamese food |
Or you |
I saw your book at a Target in Kentucky |
Under a sign that said, «New and Recommended.» |
I stole a look at your picture on the inside sleeve |
And then I couldn’t leave |
Richard, who was with me, got uncharacteristically quiet |
And he said, «All things considered, I guess you don’t have to buy it.» |
So I smiled like Mona Lisa and I lay my Visa down |
He wants me, he wants me |
But he ain’t gonna get me. |
I’ve found my guiding light |
I tell the stars each night |
«Look at me |
Look at him |
Son of a bitch, I guess I’m doing something right! |
I finally got something right!» |
No, it’s not Nirvana, but it’s on the way |
I play Anita at the matinee |
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray I can’t state in my bio |
«I'm never gonna go back to Ohio» |
I could chew on tinfoil for a spell |
I could get a root canal in hell |
But it wouldn’t be as swell as this summer is gonna be |
'Cuz the torture is just exquisite |
While I’m waiting for you to visit |
So hurry up, Shmuck |
Get unstuck and get on the scene! |
Love |
The midget |
The stripper |
Wayne the snake |
And Mrs. Jamie Wellerstein! |
That’s me! |
