lyrics

Scary Mary she's right on time
Early Shirley has been keeping that street light for an hour
Nick the Nose and Ted the head are hitting up old Harry High Pants for some change.
Skinny Linney and Wide Clyde are brawling up a Brouhaha
And that Nosy Rosy she wants to know the score

So where is that man?
You know the one with toothpaste for brains and birdbath for charm
What's the ETA of that No show Joe?

This little arrangement is held together with scotchtape and cigarettes
Ain't got no time to put my feet up
Gotta hedge me some bets
Gonna put the mother load down
What's the odds on that Joe
Mother said he'd meet me here
But I know he ain't gonna show

So where is that man
You know the one with whisky for brains
And a bible for charm
What's the ETA of that no show joe.

What? You spend the night in a cage
Looks like you been dodging a whole lotta shit
What? Did Jacopo the ape...Did a monkey write your script
All dressed up in a balderdash wrapper
Your excuse ain't gonna stick
Cause I threw it at the wall
And it's starting to slip.
