"Ten Cent Blues"

Capo 1st fret. , , 


Dear orthodox, 

I can't control my feelings,

And who hit me? 

I just might be

Coming round the bush
              
And my stilts, they began cracking

Subsequently pushed


And I looked to see that it was she

Just some abandoned little crook like me
             
Adieu, adieu, and fare thee well

This was the ending, please

    
Oh, whoa...
              
I was attached on bended knee

But I declined my leave


But who could blame

A fraction of her being?
              
She is cheesy, she is scrawny

With her uncanny styling
            
I'm teasing, she is pleasing

She just has no wit


And I'm sorry I don't have her face

And I'm probably gonna lose this race

                 
There is no doubt she's such a mouse

With such an abstract grace

     
Oh, whoa...
                 
There is no cure, I am sure

For these ten cent blues


And then she chose to dissect me

And I was casted into poverty
             
But I did not agree with her

She said, "Now, you've got nerve,"
            
But I don't care if I'm granted 

For all these things
             
If I were one among this crowd 

Would you call that defeat?

                        
In a way it's making me crazy
                              
In a sense that it's making me stronger
                                  
A likely chance, and it's probably proven
                         
In the end we'll all walk away

       
Shaking hands on the doormat
 
I salute you, sir
              
A stranger and a happy fit
        
I'm glad I'm part of it
               AmG
And that I saw it all
