Navy Nurse |
| I got warnings from jealous friends |
| Cases of borrowed clothes and a vial of Dramamine from my mother |
| And she said, «Forget what mom likes 'cause things have changed» |
| Taught me how to make booze at home |
| Call it «Old Uncle Zeke"and drink it early next week |
| Now, if there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today |
| If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today |
| If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today |
| It’s nice to go nautical when choosing a doormat |
| Oh, so nice to go nautical when choosing a doormat |
| I trust my navy nurse smile will put them on their feet again |
| I know my navy nurse smile will put them on their feet again |
| Save a glacier name for my daughter |
| For when the snow turns red, when the train pulls away |
| Listen to them whisper: |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| So on a warm winter night |
| On a worry-free winter night |
| Still a woman who enjoys feminine props |
| like a filmy sky crowded with filmy white clouds |
| In parrot green and lemon yellow |
| Appeared champagne’s daughter |
| Sitting in a blue lacquered chair with wide gypsy stripes |
| If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today |
| If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today |
| If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today |
| For it seems no matter whether I weekend in Nice or Newark |
| I get no peace, so you shirk |
| The excursion and watch them remove from the hold |
| This year’s champion Dwarf Marigold |
| This year’s champion Dwarf Marigold |
| This year’s champion Dwarf Marigold |
| This year’s champion Dwarf Marigold |
| But as there’s no snakeroot anywhere on the vessel |
| Or at any of the scheduled landings |
| And certainly no leopard flower |
| At least he’s a first-class gold brick |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| (She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved) |
| Took the velvet-caped me, let me tell you, from the golden slope |
| Riding the golden gulf weave |
| Park this Florida houseboat |
| On the rocky coast so I can see |
| Sit side by side beside myself me On a ninety inch sofa and matching loveseat |
| Listen to them whisper: |
| «If there’s anything I’ve had enough of it’s tonight |
| If there’s anything I’ve had enough of it’s tonight |
| If there’s anything I’ve had enough of it’s tonight» |
