Thank you for watching!
Thank you for watching!
Dirty water from a swordfish trombone
He went to sleep at the bottom of Tenkiller Lake
And he said, gee, but it's great to be home
Well, he came home from the war with a party in his head
And an ID for a fireworks display
And he knew that he'd be ready with a stainless steel machete
And a half a pint of a valentine's each day
And he holed up in a room above a hardware store
Crying nothing there but Hollywood tears
And he put a spell on some poor little Crutchfield girl
And stayed like that for twenty-seven years
He packed up all his expectations, he lit out for California
With a flyswatter banjo on his knee
With Lucky Tiger in his angel hands
Yeah, Benzedrine for getting there
Found him in a eucalyptus tree
Lieutenant got him a canary bird
And skanked her head with every word
And Chesterfield and moonbeams in a song
He got twenty years for loving her
From some Oklahoma governor
Said everything this doughboy does is wrong
So you'll never regret it
And I've planned a few goddamn things
That's what I figured
She told me to forget about it
To have a new girl
Well, there's a first night




She said I was about to become her mom
And that she was saying
I should be being smart

Well, here she was at my hospital
And I was trying to figure out what she wanted from me
Some say he's doing the obituary mambo
Now some say that he's hanging on the wall
Perhaps this yarn's the only thing that holds this man together
Some say that he was never here at all
Some say they saw him down in Birmingham
Sleeping in a boxcar going by
And if you think that you can tell a bigger tale
I swear to God you have to tell a lie
And if you think that you are the only real man
Next time it seems that the real man'd be Bach
To hang his head on to that�대
