Oh, yes, here's a little, uh
Here's a little song that had its origins in my Jesuit Catholic upbringing
Oh-ho, that mortal sin, I was scared of that for many years
Then I moved to Key West, Florida, and it didn't look so bad after that
So, ah, this evening has the feel of like, in the old days, that
The breeze and the temperature and the skylight
It's kind of like a drive-in theater kind of evening here at Fenway tonight
So, I want you to think about that as we do this next song for you
And, uh, here's a little Grapefruit Juicy Fruit
I'm sending to all my friends down in Florida
One more hurricane, let's get this thing out of here, God
ย
Key West is fine though
ย
Oh, yeah, Doyle
ย
Grapefruit
A bathin' suit
You chew a little Juicy Fruit
Wash away the night
Drive-in
Guzzle gin
Commit a little mortal sin
Good for the soul
Comes in your way again
So goddamn lonely
When you're on that plane alone
Yes, and if I had the money, honey
I'd strap you in beside me, in you
I never ever leave you
No, I leave you at home (all alone and cryin')
Ten speed
No need
My pickup gets me where I please
Chugging down the street, chug, chug
But I'll be leavin'
In a little while
So close your eyes and I'll
I'll be back real soon
Yes, we'll be back
ย
Yes, and if I had that money, honey
I'd strap you in beside me (in your strapless, darlin')
And never ever leave you
Girl, I leave you at home (all alone and cryin')
Grapefruit
Bathin' suit
Chew a little Juicy Fruit
Good for the soul
Yeah, you chew a little Juicy Fruit
Good for the soul
Oh, yeah
ย
Mr. Doyle Grisham on that pedal steel guitar there
Send that one out to the Doylees
