Forward to it, eh!
Then backward from it, eh! I've
Mastered the rumba!!
Mastered the rumba,
The tango, the quickstep and
The waltz. Shall we dance?
The waltz! Shall we dance
Until the clocks all strike twelve?
Then it's pumpkin time!
"Then it's pumpkin time"
Sounds like a song I heard on
A Tom Waits album.
A Tom Waits album
Is what I need right now. That,
And a strong coffee
And a strong coffee
Will help to get me started
But, where will I go?
But where will I go?
They evict me tomorrow
It is cold outside.
It is cold outside
But surprise! it IS winter...
Soon it will be spring
Soon it will be spring
The daffodils will greet it
With their sunny smiles
With their sunny smiles
and new stems facing the sun
Ah, glorious day.
Ah, glorious day
To just sit under a tree
With a book of verse
With a book of verse
Get into poetry night
Wearing a beret
Wearing a beret?
From a Scot my friend
what a weird idea
What a weird idea
That could only be expressed
By a one-eared man.
By a one-eared man
Who enjoys some mystery?
Surely, it's Francis
Surely it's Francis
who I saw lurking about
the dense shrubbery
The dense shrubbery
And the lush, green foliage
Hides not her beauty
Hides not her beauty
but sticks in her hair, scratches
her face... to ribbons
Her face to ribbons
Compared, her teeth to rusty
Cans of Campbell's soup
Cans of Campbell's soup
Line the nuclear shelter;
Dead as the sixties.
