Let's Make the Water Turn Black |
Now believe me when I tell you that my song is really true |
I want everyone to listen and believe |
It’s about some little people from a long time ago |
And all the things the neighbors didn’t know Early in the morning |
Daddy Dinky went to work |
Selling lamps & chairs to San Ber’dino squares |
And I still remember Mama with her apron & her pad |
Feeding all the boys at Ed’s Cafe! |
Whizzing & pasting & pooting through the day |
(Ronnie helping Kenny helping burn his poots away!) |
And all the while on a shelf in the shed: |
KENNY’S LITTLE CREATURES ON DISPLAY! |
Ronnie saves his numies on a window in his room |
(A marvel to be seen: dysentery green) |
While Kenny & his buddies had a game out in the back: |
LET’S MAKE THE WATER TURN BLACK |
We see them after school in a world of their own |
(To some it might seem creepy what they do…) |
The neighbors on the right sat & watched them every night |
(I bet you’d do the same if they was you) |
Whizzing & pasting & pooting through the day |
(Ronnie helping Kenny helping burn his poots away!) |
And all the while on a shelf in the shed: |
KENNY’S LITTLE CREATURES ON DISPLAY! |
Ronnie’s in the Army now & Kenny’s taking pills |
Oh! |
How they yearn to see a bomber burn! |
Color flashing, thunder crashing, dynamite machine! |
(Wait till the fire turns green… |
wait till the fire turns green) |
WAIT TILL THE FIRE TURNS GREEN |
