(Tom Waits) I stood on the roof Of Stuart's old Dodge To get a better look At the Fledderjohns' Lodge Bait shop, pistols, and ammo too Nothing but books about W.W.II Rottweiler, Doberman Pinkerton guard I ain't allowed in Buzz Fledderjohn's yard I ain't allowed No, I ain't allowed I ain't allowed In Buzz Fledderjohn's yard I seen a python swallow a Doberman whole Piranha swimmin in a mixing bowl Paper's full of stabbings The sky's full of crows She's singin' in Italian While she's hanging out her clothes
Carp in the bathtub And its raining real hard I ain't allowed in Buzz Fledderjohn's yard I ain't allowed No, I ain't allowed I ain't allowed In Buzz Fledderjohn's yard Well a sailor's ringing doorbells Sinners in the pew The weather vane squeaking to the west I seen the Cliffs of Dover And the deepest oceans blue The one thing in the world I can recommend to you Cause I ain't allowed No, I ain't allowed No, I ain't allowed In Buzz Fledderjohn's yard
