lyrics

Take off your shoes
I’m tied in a knot
I don’t want to say it, so maybe I should not
I know the secret, I know the rent
Courting the masters for their 25 cents

How will they ever come down?

It’s not in the belfry
The belfry’s not there
Tied to a leather sofa
And trying to climb the stairs
It’s in their stool, it’s in their whipping cream
They’re fishing like egrets in an Ontario stream

A disease of elevators

There’s someone to sue
Sue someone you know
They’re waiting to trust you
So give the sucker a blow
We’ll never be happy if we’re eating to clean
We’ll never be monsters reading Forbes magazine
