lyrics

Too Many Dudes
(© 2004 Walter Ehresman)

I was in the water, just languid in the water--no reason to hold my stomach in;
And then a band of angels sang, the church bells in the square all rang--
an ecstasy of curves and perfect skin;
She was poetry in motion as she stroked her tanning lotion, and looked about for someone to apply;
But as I screwed my courage down, the apeman dragged his knuckles 'round and
slapped his hair paw upon her thigh.

[chorus]
Too many dudes--in my neighborhood;
Too many dudes--in my town.
Our wallets would grow fat
selling backwards baseball caps;
Procreation could make do with less around.

I was sitting in the restaurant, just playing with my dreadlocks, and waiting for some kind of deep-fried thing.
And as the sun fled from the day, a jazz band softly starts to play--she glides onto the stage and starts to sing.
She was mystery in high heels, a Siren for the genteel, with a backside that would cause your flag to fly;
But when the set was through, she launched herself in hot pursuit as the Illustrated Man went slouching by.
