lyrics

said i had a drinking problem at my job
and they laid me off.
if i didn’t have a problem,
i sure got one now

but I can’t be sore
cause there’s no feeling more pure
than stepping out the back door
as the trays of hors d’oeuvres
walk their waiters

they’re hard to keep, harder to find
with these supposed hard times
and the feeling that I’m no better than the fly
that chose the flypaper

have you ever attempted the loose tooth
of a clydesdale with soapy hands? ?

living six months at a time
like a dress that won’t dry
just goes from line to line
but it might be time
for me to wring it out

from our third story flat
down came our mattress pad
onto my old lady’s old cat
and if they haven’t left me yet
i’m sure they have now

i felt two reflexes react,
one reflection, one gag
will my neck be napping or will it snap?
i hope me and my brain
aren’t around to find out
