Lyrics
[Man1:] "alright, I'll take care of them part of the time But the somebody else that needs Taking care of in washington." [Man2:] "who's that?" [Man1:] "rose pilchitt" [Man2:] "rose pilchitt, who's that?" (Child screams in background --- "shut up!") [Man1:] "36-24-36. does that answer your question?" [Man screaming:] "oi! I've got a little black book with my poems in!" [Man2:] "who's she?" [Man1:] "she was 'miss armoured division' in 1961...."
Got a little black book with my poems in Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on Got those swollen hands blues Got thirteen channels of shit on the tv to choose from I got electric light And I got second sight Got amazing powers of observation And that is how I know When I try to get through On the telephone to you There'll be nobody home
I got the obligatory hendrix perm And the inevitable pinhole burns All down the front of my favorite satin shirt I got nicotine stains on my fingers Got a silver spoon on a chain Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains I got wild, staring eyes And I got a strong urge to fly But I got nowhere to fly to Ooooo babe When I pick up the phone [Gomer pyle:] "surprise, surprise, surprise...." There's still nobody home
I got a pair of gohill's boots And I got fading roots
