[00:00.53]Porcelain Monkey - Warren Zevon
[00:17.06]He was an accident waiting to happen
[00:20.97]Most accidents happen at home
[00:24.65]Maybe he should've gone out more often
[00:28.55]Maybe he should've answered the phone
[00:34.10]Hip-shakin' shoutin' in gold lame'
[00:38.31]That's how he earned his regal sobriquet
[00:42.37]Then he threw it all away
[00:45.33]For a porcelain monkey
[00:49.72]He threw it away for a porcelain monkey
[00:53.55]Gave it all up for a figurine
[00:57.25]He traded it in for a night in Las Vegas
[01:02.07]And his face on velveteen
[01:20.55]From a shotgun shack singing Pentecostal hymns
[01:24.33]Through the wrought iron gates to the TV room
[01:28.32]He had a little world it was smaller than your hand
[01:31.88]It's a rockabilly ride from the glitter to the gloom
[01:36.96]Left behind by the latest trends
[01:40.19]Eating fried chicken with his regicidal friends
[01:44.59]That's how the story ends
[01:47.36]With a porcelain monkey
[01:51.73]He threw it away for a porcelain monkey
[01:55.68]Gave it all up for a figurine
[01:59.42]He traded it in for a night in Las Vegas
[02:04.12]And his face on velveteen
[02:11.45]Porcelain monkey
[02:14.62]Ah ah ah ah ah
[02:23.13]Hip-shakin' shoutin' in gold lame'
[02:27.24]That's how he earned his regal sobriquet
[02:31.32]Then he threw it all away
[02:34.07]For a porcelain monkey
[02:38.39]He threw it away for a porcelain monkey
[02:42.41]Gave it all up for a figurine
[02:46.26]He traded it in for a night in Las Vegas
[02:50.71]And his face on velveteen
[02:58.22]Porcelain monkey
[03:01.50]Ah ah ah ah
[03:06.05]Porcelain monkey
