Good afternoon, Mr. Christabel
I see we're playing possum again
I bet your head's about the size of Texas
And is that the aroma of old swollen gin?
I see my recommendation didn't work
It didn't have the desired effect
Well, "kiss my ass" ain't much of an answer
But then again, what did I expect?
'Round here you don't need an excuse
Got the luxury of an expendable youth
Don't bother us with something as trivial as the truth
ย
Is that the landlady knocking on the front door?
She's saying that redhead ain't of legal age
Yeah, eleven, seven in a two-bedroom
Well, ma'am, I guess we're just at that stage
Eating dominoes, wearing dirty clothes
Sleeping past noon again
I guess the day's shot, but what the hell, we've got
The company of friends
Singing, 'round here you don't need an excuse
Got the luxury of an expendable youth
Don't bother us with something quite as trivial as the truth
ย
A Rockwellian nightmare entitled "American Tragedy"
With just one redeeming feature: the sweet odor of mendacity
Eating dominoes, wearing dirty clothes
Sleeping past noon again
And the day's shot, but what the hell, we've got
The company of friends
Singing, 'round here you don't need an excuse
Got the luxury of expendable youth
Don't bother us with something trivial as the truth
No, don't you bother us with something quite as trivial as the truth
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
ย
You scallywags seem to have a lot of
Fun problems this particular morning
Y'all carpetbaggers proceed off the premises immediately!
Why, women do not like to face such
Unmitigated... it's a travesty, a travesty!
