Cannery Row

Hazel's watching the gears turn in Darling's mind The queen of her time Of the Flophouse Palace And Lee is pinching pennies at the grocery store In the early morn' He peeks over his glasses And Mack and the Boys Went hunting for Frogs Nothing really happens at Cannery Row Life is slow But it's our home When Eddie gets back, we'll have a drink Dora keeps her business running smooth Her girls don't drink booze And they don't misbehave While Alfred watches over with a gentle touch But he can get rough To keep the girls safe We're all nice to Al We weep for Will Nothing really happens at Cannery Row Life is slow But it's our home Dora sent her girls out to feed the kids When Doc looks in the mirror he sees his years And Frankie's tears He's all alone He buys a pack of beer from Mr. Lee And waves happily To the dogs on the road Going home, he's greeted by Mack and the Boys Oh the party's great, yeah the party's grand Yeah we're all drinking whiskey and gin So put the record on, and we'll sit in silence And fall asleep as it spins Nothing really happens at Cannery Row Life is slow But it's our home Tomorrow we can clean up all this mess
