[00:16.607] I don't care to say what
[00:19.206] I failed to recognize
[00:25.090] Every single day from the poker to the prize
[00:33.179] Running out of Springfield
[00:35.913] I worked for the Capitol Air, in the bags
[00:41.296] Found a woman there who said
[00:45.196] She had a mind to make
[00:47.365] Me a messenger man
[00:53.830] If my father took his life
[00:56.614] For the national plan, I don't care
[01:01.764] I'm not about to stick my grave with an
[01:05.831] Apron and a bucket of plans, never ever
[01:10.134] I can take the pillow cases
[01:12.427] Off the yellow pillows
[01:14.241] Make a property line from the bed
[01:18.787] In the living room, the living room
[01:21.156] The morning papers made the most
[01:23.917] Out of nothing at all
[02:00.919] So we took the room
[02:02.818] With a view of the runaway
[02:09.051] I took off my clothes
[02:11.269] And she took it for a holiday
[02:17.499] I was taken for all the things
[02:21.242] That I never had before
[02:26.002] Running out of Springfield
[02:28.550] She left me with a note saying:
[02:31.237] "Bobby, don't look back"
[02:37.171] And if my wife took a bicycle ride
[02:40.975] With a knife in her hand
[02:44.547] I saw it coming
[02:46.438] All the shadflies run at once
[02:49.320] With a trumpet or a train
[02:52.160] Oh, I'm running from it
[02:54.786] Wait a minute, wait a minute
[02:56.758] Give a minute, lady
[02:58.386] I can explain the aftershave
[03:03.068] Wait a minute, wait a minute
[03:05.060] Give a minute
[03:06.239] Bobby got a shadfly
[03:08.548] Caught in his hair
[03:11.566] (Yes, he does)
[00:16.607] I don' t care to say what
[00:19.206] I failed to recognize
[00:25.090] Every single day from the poker to the prize
