Gentlemen and ladies Please listen to me She's gone this time for good now That's not where she's supposed to be The Greyhound man he took her To where she can't be seen Am I gonna need her? Is an avocado green? Sure you say I should face it But the wound is open wide And it's really hard to replace it When she's the only thing I've ever tried Several of my two friends Wrote to me about how They seen ya out with bookends How many can you take on now? I got the police ridin' Around and in between Were you safely hidin' As an avocado green? Matter of factly speakin' I'm suffering but please don't tell At lunch I was caught sneakin' To get a drink at the big blue inkwell But tomorrow I can kick it For my horoscope plainly reveals I'm gonna inherit a fortune But not to spend it on an African seal Well baby, you're not with me And I didn't wanna be mean But do they call it envy If an avocado's green?
