April 21st - Not-So-Bodacious Babes

Five of Diamonds - Not-So-Bodacious Babes
15 - Dylanesque Rant

(with apologies to Temporary Like Achilles)


Somebody Come Up With A Dylanesque Title


Baby you are so mysterious
why do you insist on wearing that veil?
Is there something concealed under it
you're afraid will make my face go pale?
Why don't you just try and trust me if you think you can
You're alright by me babe
I'm no superficial man

A unibrow is visible, thickly
shading your never focused eyes
Don't know if you have psoriasis but
your ears do peel from time to time
Do you really think you're succeeding with what you're tryin' to hide?
You're alright by me babe
I'm not the superficial kind

Well have you
Rotten teeth?
A bulbous nose?
Is your complexion far from fair?
A cleft lip or a cleft chin
Covered in moles?
You're no Helen? I don't care

Your body's pale and bulky and has hair
in places where hair shouldn't grow
When you took off your shoes for me there was an odor
from your behemoth big toe
But even afterwards don't you see I'm still your biggest fan?
You're alright by me babe
I'm no superficial man

(Harmonica Break)

You walk with a hobo's gait
and dress yourself in other people's wedding gowns
Your voice scares away children
but Honey I'm still sticking around
Take off that mask right now and I bet I won't be stricken blind
You're alright by me babe
I'm not the superficial kind
