If You Can Find Me, I’m Here

[WOMAN]
Goodbye my friends and good riddance
Pardon while I disappear
Come see me soon in my hideaway
If you can find me, I'm here

[MAN]
Farewell you bloodsucking landlords
Pouring your threats in my ear
Good luck forever to you and yours
If you can find me, I'm here

[BOTH]
And I'll stay
Cozily hiding by day
During the day I'll resign
Waiting 'til you go away

[MAN]
But at nine
Master of all I survey
Everything gets to be mine to own
Mine to use
Mine to write all the poems I choose
All alone
Only me and my muse

[WOMAN]
And forty pianos
And ten thousand shoes

[MAN]
Farewell Neanderthal neighbors
Swilling your pretzels and beer

[WOMAN]
Fair weather friends, do you miss me now?

[BOTH
If you can find me, I'm here

[WOMAN]
Goodbye despoilers of beauty

[MAN]
Ruin another career

[BOTH]
When you wake up with one genius less
If you can find me, I'm here

[MAN]
And I'm free
Free as a bird in a tree

[WOMAN]
Free as the slippers I wear
Free with a year's warranty

[MAN]
Free as air
All of these products and me

[WOMAN]
All that I ask is a chair that tilts

[MAN]
Books to read

[WOMAN]
Light refreshment before I proceed

[MAN]
And a blazer or maybe a tweed
The barest essentials a poet would need

[WOMAN]
Live in your barbarous jungle
Screaming for ways to get clear

[MAN]
When all the screaming has died away

[BOTH]
Come and visit my hideaway
I will be glad to provide a way
If you can find me
I'm here
I am here
I am here
I am here
I am here, here, here!
