Mark Gothard: Music

Yard Sale

(Mark Gothard)
12 LP’s sold for $1.25
A smoking jacket and a snakeskin tie
Cheryl Ladd’ll go up over my bed
Fedora hat goes nicely on my head

Tenor saxophone blows loud and strong
There’s still some water left here in this bong
Got some porno babe for us to see
A painting of the barren Death Valley

Got some goldfish babe to put in the tank
I’d buy this tank-top but it’s a little rank
Come on down you know it’s all right here
It’s a little old but don’t you fear

At the yard sale

Grab that 3-wood baby it looks good
It’ll play even though it’s made out of wood
Found a chainsaw for me to cut me beard
I’m only playing baby don’t be scared

Oh my God baby what did I find?
I think it’s been laying here the whole damn time!
Four pints of Jack for a dollar holy Christ!
My tongue is numb my lips are getting moist!
Grab ‘em now before nobody sees, tonight baby we’ll be on our knees
Invite Jack and invite old Ron, ya’ know baby we’ll be getting’ it on!

Venus fly-trap sittin’ in the corner
I’d buy it but I’d be lookin’ at it over my shoulder
An old peacoat with a rip in the side
A pair of Levi’s with the hips a little wide

Cherokee headdress to wear just for fun
An old .38 caliber revolving gun
Deck of cards with ladies on the back
Got you a griddle make me Sunday flap-jacks

9 millimeter camera make a movie
The way that skirt fits you baby it’s so groovy
What you want you know it’s here for you
It sells for cheap who cares if it ain’t new!
