Lyrics
DESPERATE SOCKS
words by Gerry Mullins
music by Kim Wilson (Alador))
I keep my garbage on the ceiling so it can't be reached by ants
My whiskey in the closet standin' next to my pants
When I go out for the evening for bagels and lox
I wear my red suspenders and my desperate socks
The women they all love me, they can't leave me alone
Peepin' in my windows call me on the phone
I've got bars on my windows, my doors are full of locks
They love my white pith helmet and my desperate socks
I sleep in plaid pajamas I have for many years
You know I used to sleep naked but now I've go too many fears
I'm scared someone will break in, break right through my locks
And steal my plastic raincoat and my desperate socks
I tried to get on welfare but the lady lost her head
She spend the whole time tellin' me to marry her instead
I never got no money, just a few more hard knocks
Yeah she loved my purple necktie and my desperate socks
There are women in my shower, hidin' under my bed
Noises in my basement my mind is hangin' by a thread
I've consulted with a voodoo and several different docs
Because they love my anxious eyebrows and my desperate socks
I can't resist forever I don't know what to do
No matter what I do these women stick to me like glue
Women in my closet love letters in a box
All because I look so sexy in my desperate socks
My red suspenders, my white pith helmet, my purple necktie
Plastic raincoat, anxious eyebrows, and my desperate desperate socks
