| Dig the pit, fill the pit, dig the pit, fill the pit, dig the pit, fill the pit,
|
| — spit the pit!
|
| Told me that your family was leaving for the evening, let me know you might
|
| just forget to
|
| bar the door, said that I should bring some leaves to make a hair wreath,
|
| and a palm full of
|
| olives cause you’re sick of sugar-beets.
|
| Before the sun went down I filled my palm with olives, I ripped off a switch and
|
| demanded it of leaves.
|
| As the sun went down I stood on your doorstep with a scarf full of baubles that
|
| you
|
| demand of me.
|
| I tied it to your olive tree, my last black scarf -- remember me.
|
| Dig the pit, fill the pit, dig the pit, fill the pit, dig the pit, fill the pit,
|
| — spit the pit!
|
| I prayed you changed your mind but your door it did swing open, I tripped over
|
| the bar
|
| that lay upon the floor, you giggled at my grace and hawed at my seductions,
|
| honey is it
|
| really so hard to bar the door?
|
| I ripped my scarf apart and bound your punch and kickers, I took another piece
|
| and tied you to the bar.
|
| I shoved a little bit down your throat for good measure, said now let me show
|
| you what this
|
| olive switch is for.
|
| I tied it to your olive tree, my last black scarf -- remember me.
|
| Dig the pit, fill the pit, dig the pit, fill the pit, dig the pit, fill the pit,
|
| — spit the pit!
|
| I sat by your side and ate down the olives, and used the wreath leaves to wipe
|
| the juice
|
| from my chin. |
| I said that was all and you said I can’t be leaving we didn’t
|
| even try to make
|
| an illegitimate.
|
| You said you couldn’t have people thinking you weren’t worthy of being knocked
|
| down knocked up and unfit.
|
| I took back my last scarf and spat out the last olive and told you nothing
|
| doing I’ve no
|
| interest in the pit.
|
| I tied it to your olive tree, my last black scarf -- remember me. |
