This is what I did today instead of work. (Sound on.)
You know this is semi-autobiographical parody, right?
You know, of all the things
That got away from me,
I miss my mem’ry most.
Of all the things
That got away from me,
I miss my old mem’ry most.
Lost my money.
Lost my love.
Lost my house,
But I miss my mem’ry the most.
I lost a bunch of other things
I don’t remember right now.
Oh, God–I miss my mem’ry the most.
Of all the things
That got away from me,
I certainly do miss my mem’ry most.
I lost so many things,
But mostly I miss my mem’ry.
I must acknowledge the lifelong inspiration of Tom Waits, Leon Redbone and especially Chuck E. Weiss
