Miranda |
Do you have a problem |
Would you like someone to solve them |
Would you like someone to share in your misery? |
Now, I don’t know the answer |
But I know a flamenco dancer |
Who will dance for you if you will dance for me |
Her name’s Miranda |
She’s a Rudolph Valentino fan |
And she doesn’t claim to understand |
She bakes brownies for the boys in the band |
Early Sunday morning |
When the sermon lines are forming |
And Saturday night is the memories that it gave |
She’s busy in the pantry |
Far away from Elmer Gantry |
Who is busy baking souls that he may save |
Everybody’s soul but Miranda |
She’s a Rudolph Valentino fan |
And she doesn’t claim to understand |
She bakes brownies for the boys in the band |
The dice of death are calling |
While the truck of time is falling |
By the thumb stuck out on the highway of the years |
The tollgate at the turnpike |
Is ignored by those who hitch-hike |
And the Howard Johnson food is made of fear |
But not Miranda |
She’s a Rudolph Valentino fan |
And she doesn’t claim to understand |
She bakes brownies for the boys in the band |
The sun burnt skin is peeling |
On the doctors who are healing |
And the license plates are laughing on the car |
The pain is so exciting |
And everyone’s inviting |
You to look upon their operation scars |
But not Miranda |
She’s a Rudolph Valentino fan |
And she doesn’t claim to understand |
She bakes brownies for the boys in the band |
The condiments are clashing |
While commercial planes are crashing |
And the music of the evening is so sweet |
Now fully in agreement |
Oh, their feet have found the cement |
And they all believe the signs are on the street |
Her name’s Miranda |
She’s a Rudolph Valentino fan |
And she doesn’t claim to understand |
She bakes brownies for the boys in the band |
In the bar we’re gin and scotching |
While the FBI is watching |
They are tape recording every other word |
The bartender is bleeding |
Pardon me, I just was leaving |
As another clever voice repeats absurd |
But not Miranda |
She’s a Rudolph Valentino fan |
And she doesn’t claim to understand |
She bakes brownies for the boys in the band |
Do you have a problem |
Would you like someone to solve them |
Would you like someone to share in your misery? |
Now, I don’t know the answer, but I know a flamenco dancer |
Who will dance for you if you will dance for me |
Her name’s Miranda |
She’s a Rudolph Valentino fan |
And she doesn’t claim to understand |
She bakes brownies for the boys in the band |
