First I came to see the doctor, told him | |
I was unemployed | |
Asked me what | |
I did for money, told him | |
I was overjoyed | |
To reach into the basket, take a bunch of dimes | |
Drop them near the paper riddled with my rhymes | |
Take a message to the clerk, tell him not to work | |
Then I came to the priest, said | |
I knew God was alive | |
He looked at me quite solemn, said “ | |
Son don’t give me that jive” | |
I reached into my pocket, pulled out a .45 | |
Said “Priest | |
I got your number, and this here ain’t no jive” | |
Take a message to the clerk, tell him not to work | |
Then I came to see the man at the center of the town | |
Said “Hey there | |
Mister Leader, you’re looking at a clown | |
I don’t engage in nothing except hangin’ around | |
I’m living high, | |
I’m living low, | |
I’m just screaming the sound” | |
Take a message to the clerk, tell him not to work | |
Then I came to see myself, | |
I got a nervous quirk | |
Behind a gun | |
I lurk, he looks to me berserk | |
He pushes (?) at his time, he’s running down a line | |
Face all dripping down, carrying a sign | |
Take a message to the clerk, tell him not to work | |
And now you’re independent, brush your teeth three times a day | |
Remember how | |
I told you, remember how | |
I say That you’ve seen a hundred persons, and you’ve called me down today | |
Just to hear how lovely it sounds to hear me say | |
Take a message to the clerk, tell him not to work |
