The mystery man came over | |
And he said "I'm outta sight!" | |
He said for a nominal service charge | |
I could reach nirvana tonight | |
If I was ready, willing and able | |
To pay him his regular fee | |
He would drop all the rest of | |
His pressing affairs and devote | |
His attention to me | |
But I said "Look here brother | |
who you jiving with that cosmik debris? | |
Now who you jiving with that cosmik debris? | |
Look here brother, don't waste your time on me" | |
The mystery man got nervous | |
And he fidget around a bit | |
He reached in the pocket of his mystery robe | |
And he whipped out a shaving kit | |
Now I thought it was a razor | |
And a can of foaming goo | |
But he told me right then when the top popped open | |
There was nothin' his box won't do | |
With the oil of Aphrodite, and the dust of the Grand Wazoo | |
He said "You might not believe this, little fella | |
But it'll cure your asthma too" | |
And I said "Look here brother | |
Who you jiving with that cosmik debris? | |
Now what kind of a guru are you, anyway? | |
Look here brother, don't waste your time on me" | |
(Don't waste your time) | |
"I've got troubles of my own", I said | |
"And you can't help me out | |
So, take your meditations and your preparations | |
And ram it up your snout!" | |
"But I got the crystal ball", he said | |
And held it to the ligh | |
So I snatched it, all away from him | |
And I showed him how to do it right | |
I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head | |
So I looked like I was deep | |
I said some mumbo-jumbo, then | |
I told him he was going to sleep | |
I robbed his rings and pocketwatch | |
And everything else I found | |
I had that sucker hypnotized | |
He couldn't even make a sound | |
I proceeded to tell him his future, then | |
As long as he was hanging around | |
I said "The price of meat has just gone up | |
And your old lady has just gone down!" | |
And I said "Look here brother-who you | |
Jiving with that cosmik debris? | |
Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho? | |
Don't you know, you could make more money as a butcher? | |
So, don't waste your time on me" | |
Don't waste it, don't waste your time on me | |
