Odalisque |
| they’ve come to find you odalisque |
| as the light dies horribly |
| on a fire escape you walk |
| all rare and resolved to drop |
| and when they find you odalisque |
| they will rend you terribly |
| stitch from stitch til all |
| your linen and limbs will fall |
| lazy lady had a baby girl |
| and a sweet sound it made |
| raised on pradies, peanut shells and dirt |
| in the railroad culdesac |
| and what do we with 10 baby shoes |
| a kit bag full of marbles |
| and a broken billiard cue? |
| what do we do? |
| what do we do? |
| fifteen stitches will mend those britches right |
| and then rip them down again |
| sapling switches will rend those rags alright |
| what a sweet sound it makes |
| and what do we do with 10 dirty jews |
| a thirty-ought full of rock salt |
| and a warm afternoon? |
| what do we do? |
| what do we do? |
| lay your belly under mine |
| you’re naked under me, under me such a filthy dimming shine |
| the way you kick and scream, kick and scream |
| and what do we do with ten baby shoes |
| a kit bag full of marbles |
| and a broken billiard cue? |
| what do we do? |
| what do we do? |
| lazy lady had a baby girl, and a sweet sound it made |
