Farewell, Hesperus

[Verse 1]
Givin' fives to the jive-talking choirboy
The rocking chair lady said "You stinker!"
Everybody's packing a hairpiece
On the channel with the funny name
Sixteen miles to the nearest food
The rocking chair lady said "You stinker!"
Neck, spine, anklebone, finger, and foot
The ship is sinking and that ain't good

[Chorus]
Farewell, Hesperus
We hope it didn't bleed too much
Farewell, Hesperus
Your drawing skills are a definite strength

[Verse 2]
So whatcha gonna do now? Gotta make it look right
Gotta stay up twenty-five hours a night
Damn the torpedoes and make my lunch
Make a peanut-butter sandwich and a gallon of punch
When the sun goes down in Watertown
Better have a life jacket so he doesn't drown
If I don't call it doesn't mean I care
The rocking chair lady said…

“Amy, your sandwich is ready, Amy”
“You stinker!”

[Chorus]
Farewell, Hesperus
We hope it didn't bleed too much
Farewell, Hesperus
Your drawing skills are a definite strength

"You stinker!"
