that party þarký sözü

went to a little get-together
with some old friends
not much has changed
since the last time i saw them

there´s a chicken in uniform
wooden leg and a matchstick arm
saying: "left my wing back on the farm
...tried the buffet..."

tiny took a turn on steel guitar
after he got a fresh feel for the bar
lines drawn of jelly-fish caviar
...saying: "wanna jamm???"

i don´t like throwing
parties like that
but i love going
they said no guests
so i thought of you
hey mama, it´s on

a disconcerted youth with a gun
wants to shoot-up some fun
saying: "i´m failing science and math
but i´m head of the class in murder one"

balance sheets unpresarioed ballets
and advertised for run-a-ways
that only dance on holidays
...when crutches cut in...

willa was disenchanted
tossed her garter and demanded
"nothing can be recanted
...if it was nothing to begin with..."

a magician did card tricks
for a bunch of well-heeled hicks
and held up a red six
...one said: "that´s a black seven..."

i don´t like throwing
parties like that
but i love going
they said no guests
so i thought of you
hey mama, it´s on

a disconcerted youth with a gun
that semi-precious son
he needs to learn if you take a life
you ain´t got none

cracked pelicans rode magnolias
sent advice to rebel soldiers
that all ended with: "i told ya´s
...so then why do you ask???..."

you can tell it´s getting late
when cal calls himself kate
and peons hire potentates
...saying: "when you finish
trim the hedges..."

i´m making a hurried get-a-way
down santa monica, out of l.a.
if you like it so much stay
...there´s a theme park in the mix...

i don´t like throwing
parties like that
but i love going
they said no guests
so i thought of you
hey mama, it´s on
