Got a Lot of What it Takes to Get Along

Arrange my hands As you lay me down to rest A house of flowers and a fiery family crest Bandleader and some bagpipes To accompany the funeral March into the night- If you have other plans leave me amidst the pines You'll continue east, boozing, rambling along Pour out a drop for those deceased Who waver and waste in song Those on the run from the road and the railways, reptilian and wise- I don't want to die Chimney sweep says "without my act I'm worthless I wouldn't want to pass any more of your time Dance on the seats like a flea at the circus The movie went long and there's thunder and hail outside Carnies, give me shelter, let's cover New York in... Confetti my love We've got a lot of what it takes to get along so splendidly Yes my love Got a lot of what it takes even if we have to do so separately I digress my love I would want and you wouldn't want to sleep next to me Nonetheless my love Sweaty and horny, drowning in drugstores and daiquiris Must confess my love Wide awake, eating myself to death desperately But there's hope yet my love The birds sing their songs even as bulls buck mechanically Don't distress my love Even if we don't have what it takes, at least we can try to get along tenderly"
