You slept in your overalls
ย
After the wrecking ball
ย
Bereft you of house and home
And left you with sweet fuck all
So we got in your car
With our kickabout hearts
And we hollered out
"Sweet Clementine"
Tell your mom to marry us
A candle to carry us
ย
With cans on our bicycle fender
So sweet and hilarious
And we'll find us a home
Built of packaging foam
That will be there
'Till after we die
ย
And I'll play the clarinet
ย
Use clam shells for castanets
And we play with our bags on our shoulders
My sweet lady lioness
And I watch as you sleep
So indelibly deep
And I hum to you
"Sweet Clementine"
