Miss O'Dell

[Verse 1]

I'm the only one down here

Who's got nothing to say

About the war

Or the rice

That keeps going astray on its way to Bombay

That smog that keeps polluting up our shores

Is boring me to tears

Why don't you call me, Miss O'Dell?

[Verse 2]

I'm the only one down here

Who's got nothing to fear

From the waves

Or the rice

That keeps rollin' on right up to my front porch

The record player's broken on the floor

And Ben, he can't restore it

Miss O'Dell

[Bridge]

I can tell you

Nothing new

Has happened since I last saw you

[Verse 3]

I'm the only one down here

Who's got nothing to say

About the hip

Or the dope

Or the cat with most hope to fill the Fillmore

That pushing, shoving, ringing on my bell

Is not for me tonight

Why don't you call me, Miss O'Dell?

[Outro]

Why don't you call me, Miss O'Dell?
