I left Pencey
They kicked me out
I was lucky.
Life is a game
You should play it according to the rules
I had to sit and listen to that crap.
Ackley barged in on me
He hardly went anywhere
Damn near made you sick.
A secret slob
Always asking you to do him a big favor
A real hot shot.
My brother Allie had this mitt
That had poems written all over
In green ink.
A professional secret
Tried to sock him
I had blood all over.
Feeling so lonesome and rotten
I got all packed
Sleep tight, ya morons.
Her son was the biggest bastard
I started shooting the old crap around
Mothers are all slightly insane.
Very crumby room
Interested in meeting me for a cocktail
It's a grand place.
The Lavender Room
Girls
They can drive you crazy.
Old Jane on the brain
I was kissing her all over
Jane was different.
The ducks that swim around
Do they fly away
In the wintertime.
I'll send a girl up
Feel like talking
She was depressing.
Somebody knocked on the door
Let's have it, chief
Old Maurice had plugged me.
Date with old Sally
Two nuns sitting next to me
A small contribution.
The museum
Don't touch anything
Nobody'd move.
She looked terrific
I felt like marrying her
I'm crazy.
Inferiority complex
No matter how nice
Too conceited.
Old Luce
Your mind is immature
Typical Caulfield Conversation.
I was really drunk
So depressed and lonesome
I'm a madman.
I got to old Phoebe's room
Five thousand notebooks
Daddy's gonna kill you.
You don't like anything
One thing I like a lot
People never think anything is anything.
I heard my mother come in the room
I started to cry
Scared the hell out of poor Phoebe.
Mr. Antolini
Riding a terrific fall
He was petting my head
Carrousel started
Watched her go round and round
I felt so damn happy.
That's all I'm going to tell
Don't tell anybody anything
If you do…
You start missing everybody.
