lyrics

Great the sweat upon his nose
When sitting down in cautious trousers
‘I ordered for you, it has donned some mold,’
She said, as if to knock him over

He said, ‘the neighborhood boys
Have gone all wiggiddy-whack
And Jenny digs when I flash my wicked phat gat.’

So Lula, stern and straight of spine,
Face all hard around the edges
Plugs a cotton ball between his eyes
And said, ‘son, you better be careful

A body on the street still unmolested by the
Birds that prey with watchful beaks
O'er the boys with skull upon their feet
