Lime Green Sweater

Mrs X expects a party every night
All up in the club till the new morning light
How does she keep her job at the library?
There must be something at the luncheon
Keeping fruit on her tree

But something’s got to go from bad
To better yeah
(do do do do do do do do do do)
She says "Maybe we can burn some rope together yeah"
(do do do do do do do do do do)
(do do do do do do do do do do)

Mr. Wayne’s a teacher at the magnet you see
He keeps the kids awake with his oratory
He’s like a rock star strumming electric chalk
But when a period’s free
Sometimes he goes for a walk
To see Mrs. X ’cause she makes him feel better yeah
(do do do do do do do do do do)
She says "Maybe if we burn this rope together yeah"
(do do do do do do do do do do)
(do do do do do do do do do do)

I looked out my window
Lord and there was Mr. Wayne
Just climbing like King Kong and feeling no rain
Said I am raising the rent
But I’ll give you a hint
My voice is like a dent on
68 Barracuda
Silent

Miss Elder fits into this final verse
Because she’s always got something wicked inside her purse
It’s such a mystery grab bag
From Beirut to Baghdad
That Miami afghan
In Humboldt she wore a kaftan
But now she’s partial to lime green sweaters yeah
(do do do do do do do do do do)
C’mon baby if we burned this rope together yeah
(do do do do do do do do do do)
Oh she pulled something out of her lime green sweater yeah
(do do do do do do do do do do)
Oh and said "Maybe if we burned this rope together yeah"
(do do do do do do do do do do)
Oh she said "Maybe if we burned this rope together yeah"
(do do do do do do do do do do)
Oh she said "Maybe if we burned this rope together yeah"
(do do do do do do do do do do)
Oh she said "Maybe if we burned this rope together yeah"
(do do do do do do do do do do)
Oh she said "Maybe if we burned this rope together yeah"
(Maybe if we burned this rope together)
