(originally named "jumpin jehosaphat") |
|
Jehosaphat the mongrel cat |
|
Jumped off the roof today |
|
Some would say he fell but i could tell |
|
He did himself away |
|
His eyes weren't bright like they were the night |
|
We played checkers on the train |
|
God bless his soul he was a tootsie roll |
|
But he's a dead cat just the same |
|
Chorus: |
|
We are living in the future |
|
I'll tell you how i know |
|
I read it in the paper |
|
Fifteen years ago |
|
We're all driving rocket ships |
|
And talking with our minds |
|
And wearing turquoise jewelry |
|
And standing in soup lines |
|
We are standing in soup lines |
|
Jake the barber's lonely daughter |
|
Went down to her daddy's shop |
|
She plugged herself to a barber pole |
|
And took a little off the top |
|
Pressure on the left. pressure on the right |
|
Pressure in the middle of the hole |
|
I'm goin' to maine on a forty foot crane |
|
I'm gonna use it for a fishin' pole |
|
Repeat chorus |
|
Old sarah brown sells tickets down |
|
At the all night picture show |
|
Where they grind out sex |
|
And they rate it with an "x" |
|
Just to make a young man's pants grow |
|
No tops no bottoms just hands and feet |
|
Screaming the posters out on the street |
|
Strangling the curious and the weak |
|
We give 'em what they want to see - o |
|
Repeat chorus |
