Songtexte The World's Most Elaborate Joke - TurtleFrogMan

There was this lady she was in labor
I was her friendly next door neighbor
And the walls were made of paper machete

I was an unemployed musician
Lacking love and recognition
And since I couldn't get to sleep anyway

I said, "Maybe I should stay here and wait for your husband.
If you want someone to drive you I will"

She said, "you'd have to wait forever cause I don't have a husband
And could never pay a hospital bill"

My mouth dropped open and gaped
When she explained, "I was raped"
And then informed me that her water broke

It was tragic and sad
And yet it probably had
To be the world's most elaborate joke

So In her apartment I'm standing
And In pain she cries out demanding
"Take my panties off and lay me out flat"

All her screaming was very worrying
And around the apartment was scurrying
Some cockroaches and a rather large rat

I said, "Can't you cross your legs and hold it
While I fetch a policeman?"

I could have kicked myself for asking her that

Another baby boy was born without the help of policemen
Just me and the aforementioned rat

Who picked the afterbirth clean
Man the things that I've seen
Could make an ambulance attendance choke

It was an awful sight to see
And yet it very well may be
The world's most elaborate joke

Have you heard the old joke about the musician
Trying to be the next Bob Dylan

All of his hopes for his future were on that dream pinned

Then he rescues a damsel In a wretched condition
Who was raped by a dastardly villain

And this girl sent all of his hopes and dreams Blowing in the wind!
Get it? Blowing in the wind!

And so we took a bus to Tennessee
Bob Dylan, the neighbor and baby makes three
And we found an inconspicuous town

I'd start a business sometime later
As a pest exterminator
I loved putting rats and cockroaches down

"We don't believe your story grandpa you must be joking
You gave up your dream to kill rats in Tennessee?
I said, "listen to your grandpa kids, old grandpa's not joking
The meaning of life is responsibility"

Yes, now big eyed grand children straddle my knee
And ask if grandpa's only blowing smoke

The punch line'll kill ya if you let it
What's the matter don't you get?
It's the worlds most elaborate joke
