Loudon Wainwright Iii - Hospital Lady lyrics

The braid is held in with a bobby pin She's a woman, she wears a pink hat The rouge on the face Ihe baubles, the lace Once a young girl Please don't forget that The pretty red top Has just about stopped It wobbles, it don't spin anymore Reach for the sky Against gravity try Stay away from the cold wooden floor. There was a time not so long ago She was dancing with her favorite beau Who died in 1953. Consider her chart There is dust on the heart A thorn bush grows inside the spleen Clouds on the eyes hide Al Jolson blue skies The lungs have turned bright Kelly green Old lady blues wears old lady shoes Her new lover is old daddy d**h
