Good Night And God Bless
Hey
Clem Kadiddlehopper
how's that stogie
you got blowin'
in your fingers
how I love
the whiff
of a good
cigar
in
my
mind
Could ya get
Freddie The Freeloader to open
a can o' beans
please
I'm starvin'
and I'm tired of the smell of
rubber
burning
on the trash heap
can
Mean Widdle Kid
Cauliflauer McPugg
and
Willie Lump Lump
play too
it's lonely up here
in the adult world
where they want production
by the minute
and ulcers
by the hour
we could use
a little
Free time
for our imagination
to run free
but I don't think
Sheriff Deadeye
takes kindly
to
loitering
On the edge
of ambition
I'd hate to have
Bolivar Shagnasty
on my case
day and night
Jeeesh
it be like listenin' to
Gertrude and Heathcliffe
jawboning the night away
would you
wake me
In the afterlife
Good night, and God bless
