Fleashine |
Fleashine, shoeshine, man of fifteen |
Brings the house in with a smile |
All twelve teeth tell myriad stories |
One upon one and one |
The breath in his hand waving |
Drives the gypsy woman mad, oh |
She loves him anyway |
Has told him so a thousand times or more |
She refuses to believe that |
At forty two years old |
She’s not still a butterfly |
Ready, ready for the net |
Bobby the fifteen is turning strong and soft |
As can be seen by his patience with the animals |
He used to hate 'em |
Now lays down beside them |
To keep all from feeling sad |
As animals sometimes do |
He dreams of being old enough |
To marry the girl with two heads |
Their name is Gladys |
And they don’t yet know |
Of the young man’s fascination |
They’re too busy drawing circles in their arms |
A fleashine, shoeshine, man of fifteen |
Floating into the next town |
Puts a straw in a Jim Beam bottle |
And lays his head down |
He puts a straw in a Jim Beam bottle |
And lays his head down |
