|
You slept in your overalls |
|
After the wrecking ball |
|
Bereft you of house and home |
|
And left you with sweet fuck-all |
|
So we got in your car |
|
With our kickabout hearts |
|
And we hollered out 'sweet clementine' |
|
Tell your mom to marry us |
|
A candle to carry us |
|
With cans on our bicycle fenders |
|
So sweet and hilarious |
|
And we'll find us a home |
|
Built of packaging foam |
|
That will be there 'til after we die |
|
And, I'll play the clarinet |
|
Use clamshells for castinets |
|
We play with our bags on our shoulders |
|
My sweet lady lioness |
|
And I watch as you sleep |
|
So indelibly deep |
|
And I hum to you sweet clementine |
