She had that |
|
Camarillo brillo |
|
Flamin' out along her head, |
|
I mean her mendocino bean-o |
|
By where some bugs had made it red |
|
She ruled the toads |
|
Of the short forest |
|
And every newt in idaho |
|
And every cricket who had chorused |
|
By the bush in buffalo |
|
She said she was |
|
A magic mama |
|
And she could throw a mean tarot |
|
And carried on without a comma |
|
That she was someone i should know |
|
She had a snake for a pet |
|
And an amulet |
|
And she was breeding a dwarf |
|
But she wasn't done yet |
|
She had gray-green skin |
|
A doll with a pin |
|
I told her she was awright |
|
But i couldn't come in |
|
(i couldn't come in right then...) |
|
And so she wandered |
|
Trough the door-way |
|
Just like a shadow from the tomb |
|
She said her stereo was four-way |
|
An' i'd just love it in her room |
|
Well, i was born |
|
To have adventure |
|
So i just followed up the steps |
|
Right past her fuming incense stencher |
|
To where she hung her castanets |
|
She stripped away |
|
Her ranchid poncho |
|
An' laid out naked by the door |
|
We did it till we were un-concho |
|
An' it was useless any more |
|
She had a snake for a pet |
|
And an amulet |
|
And she was breeding a dwarf |
|
But she wasn't done yet |
|
She had gray-green skin |
|
A doll with a pin |
|
I told her she was awright |
|
But i couldn't come in |
|
(actually, i was very busy then) |
|
And so she wandered |
|
Trough the door-way |
|
Just like a shadow from the tomb |
|
She said her stereo was four-way |
|
An' i'd just love it in her room |
|
Well, i was born |
|
To have adventure |
|

|
And carried on without a comma |
|
That she was someone i should know |
|
(is that a real poncho...i mean |
|
Is that a mexican poncho |
|
Or is that a sears poncho? |
|
Hmmm...no foolin' ...) |
