Northeast Passage

(C.Miller and J. Hoffman)



cho: Ah, for just one time I would take a northeast passage

To find a Jewish princess reaching for my wallet thin,

With her well-coiffed hair and her extra-long eyelashes

And a Mother, waiting, eager to move in.



Westward from New Jersey, 'twas there I often hied

The she-route to stark poverty, o'er which so many cried.

Seeking golden beauty, Ralph Lauren covered bones

Picking from amongst so many clones.



Three short weeks thereafter I had bought a wedding band

Then off to the caterer with my checkbook in my hand

And down to Castor Avenue to rent a tux and then

To the photographer, my mother-in-law's best friend.



Through the night below us, the mileage clicking south

I listen to the promises from my beloved's mouth

Then false hopes rise before me, and behind me sink again

In Miami now the headaches soon begin.



How then was I so different from the first who passed this way?

Like them I left a single life and threw it all away

To seek a northeast passage I'll never try again

I might date shiksas, or maybe switch to men



final chorus: Ah, for one last time did I take etc.
