A Long distance directory assistance, area code 212 Say hey, A and R this is mister rhythm and blues He said hello, and put me on hold To say the least the cat was cold He said, don't call us child we'll call you
I said, you got my number He said yeah, I got it when you walked in the door Don't call us, we'll call you Don't call us, we'll call you
I got your name from a friend of a friend who said he used to work with you Remember the all night creature from stereo ninety two Yeah I said could you relate to our quarter track tape You know the band performs in the nude He said uh huh don't call us child we'll call you
Listen kid you paid for the call You ain't bad but we've heard it all before And it sounds like John, Paul and George
Any way, we cut a hit and we toured a bit with a song he said he couldn't use And now he calls and begs and crawls It's telephone deja vu We got percentage points and lousy joints And all the glitter we can use, Mama So, uh huh, don't call us now, we'll call you
Listen kid you paid for the call You ain't bad but I've heard it all before Don't call us, we'll call you Don't call us Don't call us, we'll call you

On the day that Daniel Cowman stopped existing The world should have ended right then and there At precisely four-fifteen when he stopped existing The world should have ended How could it go on? How could it go on? How could it go on?
Oh and I don't exist I don't exist [repeats]
So now that we've got that straight Doesn't mean that I can fly Doesn't mean I that I can go do whatever I want Now that we've got that clear And you know that I'm not here Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I please
The premature ejaculation of his death (sentence) hit Daniel in the face like a big round spitball hwk-pfffff And everything got hazy in the courtroom and then he stood up And then he sat back down another two times in the row And everything got real slow like a gunshot in the movies And he remembered heroin boy walking in through the door Bouncing off the walls and the floor Taking off his belt taking off his pants Filling up the bathtub Getting ready to go in for a swim Singing I don't exist I don't exist [repeats]
And now that we've got that straight Doesn't mean that I can fly Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I want Now that we've got that clear And you know that I'm not here Doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I please And you start remembering and remembering and remembering And remembering...
The heroin boy, he walked through the door And he was screaming And I was like 'why's you screaming like it's the end of the world?' And he was like 'well it is' And I was sitting in the corner with my pants down And I was sure that someone next door was blowing up balloons And it was red and orange
And there was that swell lady at the bar just tryin to buy gin And there was this other lady at the bar and she was tryin to sell gin It worked out good for the boths of them
And heroin boy started taking off his belt Started taking off his pants Started taking off his shoes Started filling up the bathtub Getting ready to go in for a swim I says "No-o You're goin to drown He says 'No I can't drown Simply because...
Shhhhhhh
A man destined to hang Can never drown A man destined to hang Can never drown A man destined to hang Can never ever drown
A man destined to drown Can never burn A man destined to drown Can never burn A man destined to drown Can never ever burn
A man destined to fry Can never ever ever A man destined to fry Can never ever ever A man destined to fry Can never ever ever die... In any other way but frying Lucky that I'm dying By hanging and not drowning
So now that we've got that straight Can't I just be left alone? I want to take a ***** bath

Little Frankie went down to the barroom, she asked for a glass of beer She said, "Hey, bartender, has my Johnny been here?" "He's my man but he's done me wrong"

Hang down your head Tom Dooley Hang down your head and cry Hang down your head Tom Dooley Poor boy you're bound to die
I met her on the mountain There I took her life I met her on the mountain Stabbed her with a knife

This time tomorrow Reckon where I'll be Down in some lonesome canyon Hanging from a wide oak tree
Hang down your head Tom Dooley Hang down your head and cry Hang down your head Tom Dooley Poor boy you're bound to die
Tom Cat Blues Composer(s): Jelly Roll Morton Performer(s): Freddie Spruell and multiple other artists
It was late las' night, I tried so hard to sleep It was late las' night and I tried so hard to sleep When a mean old tom cat started on his midnight creep
Tomcats in my window, tomcats all around my door Tomcats in my window, tomcats all around my door Never heard so much moanin' and whinin' all my life before
I don't trust no tomcat, he got such an evil eye I don't trust no tomcat. got such an evil eye He's a' sneakin' and mistreatin', doubt it if that ain't no lie
A tomcat man is tryin' to break up my home A tomcat man is tryin' to break up my home That's why it makes me mad when I hear a tomcat moan
Oh Mr Tomcat, get some pussy of your own Mr Tomcat, get some pussy of your own Or you will lose your nine lives if you don't let my be
