Lyrics

Trilogy (Circa 1967)

I've got two lumps

No love

She wasn't home as I had planned

Low thoughts

No tears

I hold my life in my right hand

By the sea my daddy caught me

He said, "Your strength will surely slack"

Well, I been blushing for a long time

But now and then

I get him back

La la

La la

La la la la la la la la

Four days

Cornbread

On the fifth I ate beef stew

Hare Krishna

If you save me, I'll serve you

My lawyer shook her head and she told me

"I'm gonna tell you very plain:

Do exactly as I ask you

And if they ask you

Plead insane"

Jesus

Loves me

The Baptist salesman bought me cheap

Hotel

Motel

So very nice to get some sleep, oh

Mister Steinbeck, I can see it

Your valley sinking in the sea

San Diego, I must warn you

Take my advice:

Climb a tree

La la

La la

La la la la la la la la
