Two Dead Boys
Ladies and gentelmen skinny and stout
I'll tell you a story I know nothing about
The admission is free so pay by the door
now pull up a chair and sit on the floor.
One bright day in the middle of the night
Two dead boys got in a fight
back to back they faced each other
drew their swords and shot each other.
A blind man came to watch fair play
a mute man came to shout horay
A deaf policeman heard the noise
And came and killed those two dead boys.
He lived on a corner in the middle of the block
a two story house on a vancant lot
A man with no legs came walking by
And kicked the lawman in the thigh
he crashed through the wall without a sound
into a dry creek and suddenly drowned
A long black hearse came to cart him away
but he ran for his life and is still gone today
I watch from the corner if a big round table
the only eye witness to the facts of my fable
but if you doubt that my lies are true
just ask the blind man he saw it to.
