Barium lady s***s her pants on time.
There ain't a lady in the land so fine.
Go on, take your pants off.
Go on with your bad self.
I don't object if you calculate
I don't object if you call collect
I don't object if you're called Collette
I don't object if you call collect
I won't object if you call me a lech.
I don't object if you call collect.
I've been meaning to phone ya but the minute I saw ya
I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota.
I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnezona.
I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota.
Now I'm eatin' my Oreo
Now I'm eatin' my heart out
Now that we are married
Not the ordinary
Remember them basement parties, your brother's carotid
Remember them basement parties, your brother's karate
i.e., carotid artery
Them homesick booze and radical fumes
Them homesick blues and radical views
There ain't a lady and a man so fine, oh my.
There ain't a lady in the land so fine, oh my.
There ain't a lady and the lamp's on fire, oh my.
There ain't a lady in the land so fine, oh my.
Think of me and try not to laugh,
and I wear a dress
Think of me and try not to laugh,
and I wear it well
Tryin' to get to Atlanta through
Tryin' to get a letter through
You knew I'd been a concierge.
You knew it didn't cost the earth.
You wear a twelve
You wear it well
You willy nilly
You wear it well
Your brother’s colonics
Your brother’s karate
I've been needing to phone you
I've been meaning to phone you
Now that we are merry
Not the ordinary
