I been thinking lately

about the people I meet

the carwash on the corner

and the hole in the street

the way my ankles hurt

with shoes on my feet

and I'm wondering

if I'm gonna see tomorrow.



Father forgive us

for what we must do

you forgive us

we'll forgive you

we'll forgive each other

till we both turn blue

then we'll whistle and go fishing

in heaven.





I was in the army

but I never dug a trench

I used to bust my knuckles

on a monkey wrench

then I'd go to town and drink

and give the girls a pinch

but I don't think

they ever even noticed me.





Fish and whistle

whistle and fish

eat everything

that they put on your dish

and when we get through

we'll make a big wish

that we never have

to do this again

again? again????





On my very first job

I said thank you and please

they made me scrub a parking lot

down on my knees

then I got fired

for being scared of bees

and they only give me

fifty cents an hour.
