Gentlemen and ladies
|
Please listen to me
|
She's gone this time for good now
|
That's not where she's supposed to be
|
|
The Greyhound man he took her
|
To where she can't be seen
|
Am I gonna need her?
|
Is an avocado green?
|
|
Sure you say I should face it
|
But the wound is open wide
|
And it's really hard to replace it
|
When she's the only thing I've ever tried
|
|
Several of my two friends
|
Wrote to me about how
|
They seen ya out with bookends
|
How many can you take on now?
|
|
I got the police ridin'
|
Around and in between
|
Were you safely hidin'
|
As an avocado green?
|
|
Matter of factly speakin'
|
I'm suffering but please don't tell
|
At lunch I was caught sneakin'
|
To get a drink at the big blue inkwell
|
|
But tomorrow I can kick it
|
For my horoscope plainly reveals
|
I'm gonna inherit a fortune
|
But not to spend it on an African seal
|
|
Well baby, you're not with me
|
And I didn't wanna be mean
|
But do they call it envy
|
If an avocado's green?
|
