The Dead Milkmen

Plum Dumb

Big Lizard in My Backyard



She stands there on the corner

decked out in raspberry jeans

waiting and watching and oh here he comes

he pulls up beside here in a sporty machine

rolls down his window

and hands here a bag of plums



Plums? Eat them he tells here

they make you feel great

So she hops in the car he steps on the gas

she swallows the plums

and says it's getting late

can't you drive faster

just a wee bit faster

you're not going to fast



Freeway riding down the freeway

cruisin' they are really cruisin'

when the plums take affect

the plums suddenly juice her mind

she is no longer a nervous wreck

now her nerves are blind she feels fine



Oh I feel great she says

but he already knows it

cause she's fingering his hair

and biting his toe

she's really plumbed out

and in her eyes she shows it

she says what's the hurry? Drive more slow



Moisture drips from her edible lips

he looks into her eyes and he's

quick to relize

that he'd better pull over

before he gets to Dover

cause if he really wants her

now the time is wise



Freeway riding down the freeway

cruisin' they are really cruisin'

when the plums take affect

the plums suddenly juice her mind

she is no longer a nervous wreck

now her nerves are blind she feels fine

"Hush little baby don't say a word : "I woke up, can't wait to eat

And never mind that noise you heard : Got my cereal, boy I was beat

It just the beasts under your bed : Opened the fridge and to my dismay

In your closet in your head!!!" : There was no milk my mother will pay
