about

This was written about a girlfriend at the time who was quite challenging.

lyrics

You gave me some money from that old bell jar
You gave me some glamour juice milked from the stars
You gave me a haircut. Said "This is so divine!"
And you showed me how to polka and here's what I cried:

That I don't want to polka with you no more.
And I don't want to pee in your back yard
And I don't want to munch on your kiwis
And I don't want to cry for my wee wee

You gave me a sausage from your mommy's saloon
You gave me a boat ride to your favourite lagoon
You gave me a slimy swamp with crocodiles inside
I didn't want to fight them but still I tried!

Chorus

You gave me crimson and a toast black cigar
You gave me bitter and nights at the bar
You gave me a caramel with slimy swamp inside (?)
I didn't want to eat it, but still I tried.

Chorus
