|
If you can play on the fiddle
|
How's about a British jig and reel?
|
Speaking King's English in quotation
|
As railhead towns feel the steel mills rust water froze
|
In the generation
|
Clear as winter ice
|
This is your paradise
|
|
There ain't no need for ya
|
Go straight to hell boys
|
|
Y'wanna join in a chorus
|
Of the Amerasian blues?
|
When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh City
|
Kiddie say papa papa papa papa-san take me home
|
See me got photo photo
|
Photograph of you
|
Mamma Mamma Mamma-san
|
Of you and Mamma Mamma Mamma-san
|
Lemme tell ya 'bout your blood bamboo kid.
|
It ain't Coca-Cola it's rice.
|
|
Straight to hell
|
Oh Papa-san
|
Please take me home
|
Oh Papa-san
|
Everybody they wanna go home
|
So Mamma-san says
|
|
You wanna play mind-crazed banjo
|
On the druggy-drag ragtime U.S.A.?
|
In Parkland International
|
Hah! Junkiedom U.S.A.
|
Where procaine proves the purest rock man groove
|
and rat poison
|
The volatile Molatov says-
|
|
PSSST...
|
HEY CHICO WE GOT A MESSAGE FOR YA...
|
VAMOS VAMOS MUCHACHO
|
FROM ALPHABET CITY ALL THE WAY A TO Z, DEAD, HEAD
|
|
Go straight to hell
|
|
Can you really cough it up loud and strong
|
The immigrants
|
They wanna sing all night long
|
It could be anywhere
|
Most likely could be any frontier
|
Any hemisphere
|
No man's land and there ain't no asylum here
|
King Solomon he never lived round here
|
|
Go straight to hell boys
|
