Gentlemen and ladies

Please listen to me

She's gone this time for good now

That's not where she's supposed to be

The Greyhound man he took her

To where she can't be seen

Am I gonna need her?

Is an avocado green?

Sure you say I should face it

But the wound is open wide

And it's really hard to replace it

When she's the only thing I've ever tried

Several of my two friends

Wrote to me about how

They seen ya out with bookends

How many can you take on now?

I got the police ridin'

Around and in between

Were you safely hidin'

As an avocado green?

Matter of factly speakin'

I'm suffering but please don't tell

At lunch I was caught sneakin'

To get a drink at the big blue inkwell

But tomorrow I can kick it

For my horoscope plainly reveals

I'm gonna inherit a fortune

But not to spend it on an African seal

Well baby, you're not with me

And I didn't wanna be mean

But do they call it envy

If an avocado's green?
