Captain Beefheart Lyrics

Now here you come, baby With your tail draggin' in the gravy You know your P's and Q's But what you don't know, baby Is you're giving me the blues You got juice on your chin And eggs on the drainboard A pie on the wall and dirt upon the rug I come home late and I stumble and I swore You won't even give me a hug You had my things all laid out by the door I'm leaving! I'm gonna take up with a mermaid And leave you land-lovin' women alone Leave you land-lovin' women alone Ahh you had it together once Now your head is round the bend Now I'm telling you honey You better get it back together then I'm gonna grow fins And go back in the water again If you don't leave me alone I'm gonna take up with a mermaid And leave you land-lovin' women alone And leave you land-lovin' women alone Leave you land-lovin' women alone Now here you come baby With your tail draggin' in the gravy You know your P's and Q's What you don't know woman Is you're giving me the blues
