Lyrics

I'm not a free lunch box car parked in the seat
Dead-end streetcar of desire caught by the tailpiece
I'm a jiffy pop tarts are bad for your teen-aged beef

There's a mando-linda evans talking on the
Phone call a porter wagoner tailor-made underwear
Every dog has his dayton ohio hitler
Says to button your fly tijuana place a bette midler

Oh drop dead lock stock and bugle coral reefer man
Every marlon brando gave him a great big handstand
What a lumpy guy lumbago embargo fish pants

Is there a groucho marxist doctrine in the
House calls about a lost set of keystone cops out
The same way you came in through the bathroom wind-
Oh look! a rock'n'roller skate and all skate slowly

Hey man a t-bone state of the aren't
You gonna finish your bird in a box
Hey man your witness to the stand still
Shoulder to shoulder the burden a box
Hey man and even colonel sanders' daddy
Was a thunderbird in a box

Loose tooth three of a perfect paradiced onions cheese
And beans from another planeteri gargoyle change
Every two thousand smiled at
Linda evans called again singing happy birthmark
