) Blank-faced footprints of the zebras in the glen Cavemen humping in the sterling space pod Drumstick pumpkin in the Starbucks courtyard Gigolos dance, stepping on toes Benadryl nights in the OK holes There's an exit to this desert Dangling freely from the shingles in the snow She's a show off, Xanax Zoloft Blank faced footprints of the zebras in the glen Let's break into the labyrinth of lies Let's dive off the end of his eyes Hollywood hills, peppermint pills I can still taste the grime that you stuffed in my gills Oh Johnny, can't you set a place for Holly? She's a wild one, she'll be staying for a spell Till they find her, then they drag her down To Barcelona! Down to Barcelona! I'm a very funny boy, but I know not to say "cha-cha-cha" Dunkin' Donuts, give me Dunkin' Donuts! She's a very funny girl But I love that crazy bitch, alright!

F

Carolina, she's from Texas

Dm

Red bricks drop from her vagina

F

Oh, her lips taste just like sunk ships

Dm

But her breasts taste just like breakfast There's her hand now on the cock sock Filled with white tears from the thrift store She's an eyesore in her red dress I'm the ghost of her deceased when she said

Goodnight, sweetheart, flying high on birth control

She knows the pregnancy will show that she smells nice when you look twice

I just don't care about the evening news

I never listen to the crackhouse blues

They say the city is the place to be

D

I wanna dance with Emily Everybody come around to window shop I guess they've never seen the moves I got I wanna be with what the people see I wanna dance with Emily

G

Emily, sweet baby, won't you be my wife?

D

Cutting me wide open with a kitchen knife

E

Everybody said that she is underage

A7

Honky tried to shoot me with a seven-gauge! Now I got the cookies that your momma sent I got permission from the government Someone should mention to the minister Now I gotta dance with Jennifer Jenny's got a mouse hole full of pigeon scum On top a mountain made of bubble gum Don't understand what all the grief is for Now I gotta dance with Eleanor Eleanor, I wonder if we move too slow Straight down the hatch beneath the streetlight's glow Baby when I get you on that persian rug That's the kind of movies I've been dreaming of!

Instrumental verse and chorus

I'll tell you something that you'd think I know I got two tickets to the sold out show Some of the fellas like to think I'm Greek I wanna love you maybe three days a week I just don't care about the evening news I never listen to the crackhouse blues I wanna be with what the people see I wanna dance with Emily I wanna dance with Emily
