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
