Capo 7th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Mailboxes drip like lampposts in the twisted birth canal of the coliseum

 Rim job fairy teapots mask the temper tantrum

 O' say can you see 'em

 Stuffed cabbage is the darling of the Laundromat

 'N the sorority mascot sat with the lumberjack

 Pressing passing stinging half synthetic fabrication of his-- Time

 The mouse with the overbite explained how the rabbits were ensnared

 'N the skinny scanty sylph trashed the apothecary diplomat

 Inside the three-eyed monkey within inches of his toaster oven life

 In my mind

 I'm half blind

 My inner ref

 Is mostly deaf

 I'm smell impaired

 If you cared

 My sense of taste is wasted on the phosphorescent orange peels of San

 Francisco axe-encrusted frenzy

 So let me touch you

 Let me touch you

 Let me touch you

 Let me touch you

 Where the Ro-yal Jelly gets made

 Transition:

Coleratura singers bringing weeds and social clingers

 Hangers-on and fancy flingers

 To the dress ball

Mushrooms and bowling pins

Stove pipe hats and other things I can't recall

 From Juvenile hall

We're so unlucky and stuff

Woodrow Wilson never had it so tough

Dairy Queen and Vaseline and Maybelline

Paul Bunyan and James Dean

Allegory agencies of pre-Raphaelite paganry

And Shenandoah tapestries

Compared with good mahogany

Collapsing the undying postcard romance

With feline perspicacity

By the university

That night I held a paucity

Which you deemed common courtesy

I wasn't what you thought I'd be

I shouldn't have invited you to dance

 In my tree

 I'm halfway free

 And in my chair

 One quarter there

 In my dream

 One-sixteenth cream

In the coffee of the Courtier

 Of the sycophant assistant to the king

 So let me touch you

 Let me touch you

 Let me touch you

 Let me touch you

 Where the Ro - - - - - - - yal Jelly gets made
