"But there's somebody else that needs taking care of in Washington..."

"Who's that?"

"Rose Pilchitt!"

"Rose Pilchitt? Who's that?"

(Shut up!)

"36-24-36. Does that answer your question?"

(Oi! I've got a little black book with me poems in!)

"Who's she?"

"She was 'Miss Armoured Division' in 1961."

I've got a little black book with my poems in

Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in

When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in

I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on

Got those swollen hand blues

I've got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from

I've got electric light

And I've got second sight

I've got amazing powers of observation

And that is how I know

When I try to get through

On the telephone to you

There'll be nobody home

I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm

And the inevitable pinhole burns

All down the front of my favourite satin shirt

I've got nicotine stains on my fingers

I've got a silver spoon on a chain

I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains

I've got wild staring eyes

And I've got a strong urge to fly

But I've got nowhere to fly to

Ooh, babe, when I pick up the phone

("Surprise, surprise, surprise")

There's still nobody home

I've got a pair of Gohil's boots

But I've got fading roots
