Why oh why
Baby oh baby
Please tell me why
I’m moving so slow today
~
Up the street
Up the stairs
Rickety old feet
Plodding along
~
Pull me brim down
Pull me keys out
Unlock the door etc.
Sittin’ in the tomb again
~
Why o’ why do I
Like sitting in this old cold hotel room
There ain’t nothin’ here worth considering
Yet my heart go zooooooom
~
Aye!
We’re traveling now
You & your traveling man
Hold on tight now
~
You is lookin’ so good
The whole dang neighborhood
Inside my mind
Gots reason to shine
~
Yeah but
Yeah but
You say I’m way over here
You is way over there
~
So it ain’t so
My thinking’s gone slow
You got bronchitis &
I’m a wanna-be bo’
~
Yeah but
Yeah but
I hummed a little prayer
to the Goddess up there
~
She’s on your side
As well as mine &
She’s a lot stronger than
Turpentine
~
Sooooooo
We’re dancing slow
Your belly’s warm & plump &
We’re half drunk
~
In fact, instead of growing old
We’re growing young
Oh so slow
To a Neil Diamond song
~
Wait a minute
Something’s not right
My hat falls to the floor
Something’s wrong
~
You’re like you always are
The hottest ray of sunshine around
But me, me oh my, my skin
It’s lost & cannot be found
~
Dang it ~ everything was so gallant
Gallant & slam-dunk grand
No more yeah butts
I am, I am a skeleton man!
