Bang! Bang!

Song of the country fool

who needs some sweetness

Bees and fleas in a caustic weather

Burn 'round fast, falling hither and thither.

Feel it all and call to them all,

"Bang! Bang! Boom!"

Needs and feeds does he, with a hollow crocodile tail,

Animal bones, "It's dead", says he, with a crooked coffin nail.

Murky and great, a knife laid deep in her sands,

Deals warm liquor water with her black, swampy hands.

Willows in Louisiana, and more skeetos too,

There's a fella in a shiny new suit for ya, boo!

There's a boy, there's a man!
What a damn fool he must be!

What a world it is and what a world it'll be!
