Get In, Get Out Year: 2000
Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©2000
she was a widow with a bone to pick
never made past the seven year itch
got pretty good at the bait and switch
this circus is such a drag
she had a honey but he was a dick
hit her twice and baby she'd had it
i don't blame her one little bit
for keeping his remains in a paper bag
(she seized the day or maybe just grabbed it
skullduggery with a tent peg mallet)
carnival barker seems nice enough
he'll let you drink from his broken paper cup
lecherous twinkle says he can't get enough
i suspect that's true
lion tamer, he's a clever lad
said he loves his mum but he's gotta a gay dad
these beasts are temperamental their breath is bad
i suspect that's true
i can hear the death rattle
baby it is everywhere
i can taste it on your breath
honey, smell it in your hair
Ulysses is a snake-charmer
playin' counterpoint to "round midnight"
side-arm pitcher who can shed his skin
usually saves his best for the bottom of the ninth
said it was a part of a family tradition
gift of God and an act of submission
you can understand my slight apprehension
when he handed me the torch
center ring and the last 8th wonder
just a spit off pharaoh's tomb
feast yer eyes on the elegant blunder
as salome enters the room
with some unfortunate head of state
now the crowd is getting rough
some folks they'll do anything
for the biggest bang for the buck
i once knew a soldier
now all he can do is cry
he was discharged for loading rifles
with rose petals and dandelions
he carried a philosophy
that he never left home without
get in get out get in get out get in
get in get out get in get out get in
Did You Know?
This is a tale about a Vietnam vet, based on a bad dream that Bill had. Randall Bramblett, who has played with Bill, has a song of the same title on his 2001 album, "No More Mr. Lucky." This is not the same song.
