Another Joyous Occasion
Live - 6 giugno 2000 - Debaser id 43081

Four train days
Get me back to New Orleans
Drink more fishwater there
Than any whale's mama ever seen
Alright tonight
I've been fueling my dreams eatin greens and beans
When I get back down there
I'm gonna drink more fish stew
Than all the big fishes do


And I still want more
I still want more
More...
I still want more


Gimme tonight
Gonna dream my way on back
Spend my life down there
Down on that bourbon street
Watch my money, and mind my legs down in New Orleans
Can't tell which mens turns womens there
And which womens just turns mean


And I still want more
I still want more
More...
I still want more

The Cadillacs roll, Katie step to the side
Tellin' jokes with strangers
A kind glance at a lonely passer-by
Jingle bells, electric lights
Oh, they rattle 'gainst the shopping cart
Even on the fourth of July


Christmas Katie calls people names
They're Dancers, and Blitzens, and angels on high


Chilly bones laughin' after the night
Oh, the hungries come and go
As he blows with his eyes froze tight
Slidell boy, big city nights
Oh, he tips his hat for dinner
An old stray beggin' for a bite


Oh, Christmas Katie, babe, blow your horn
Play something happy, leave the sad one's alone
Crackin' a smile as small as wishes
Make us some merry, make it last for a while


Hey, puttin' out the dog, put the wheels on tight
Oh, play another sweet song
Never wanna see Katie cry
Jingle bells, electric lights
They rattle 'gainst the shopping cart
Even on the fourth of July


Oh, Christmas Katie, baby blow that horn
Play something happy, leave the sad ones alone
Slidell smiles as small as wishin'
Make us some merry, make it last for a while
Oh, make it last all night!

Woman, she's moving to the weight of the world
Momma, she's carrying the weight of the world
All the time she breathing in the weight of the world
Bring it on home
Bring the soup-bone home


Well, poppa, too, he got the weight of the world
Man is moving in to the weight of the world
And all the time, along with the soup he's bringing home
The weight of the world


Bring it on home
Bring the soup on home


Children, too, fall to this weight of the world
All the time they they fall... right there into the weight
And all the time they're trying to shake
The weight of the world


Bring it on home
Bring the soup on home


Everybody's going to the wake of the world
We're all dressing up fine for the wake of the world
And everybody's hiding behind trees, breathing loud
The weight of the world


Bring it on home
Bring the soup on home

I like coconuts, you can't break them open
they smell like ladies,
lyin in the sun

I like coconuts you can't break them open
they smell like ladies,
lyin in the sun

And if I had my way
I'd give a coconut to everyone

Well I gotta friend named Jack
Look like he born in a paper sack
well that's my friend Jack

Oooh, c'mon Jack
Smell these coconuts

There's enough for everyone

Jackie likes the smell of cut grass
he used to play ball on Saturdays
Playin in the sun

Jackie likes the smell of cut grass
he used to play ball on Saturdays
Playin in the sun

If Jackie had his way,
he'd give some cut grass to everyone

Well I gotta friend named Fred
Look like he born in a slanty shed
(in some versions "piece of bread)
well that's my friend Fred

Oooh, c'mon Fred
Smell these coconuts

There's enough for everyone

Freddy likes the sound of cold drink
he used to pop tops on Saturdays,
sippin in the sun

Freddy likes the sound of cold drink
he used to pop tops on Saturdays,
sippin in the sun

If Freddy had his way
ooh, he'd give a cold drink to everyone

(I'm gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows
nobody knows like my nose, to find those, no)

I like coconuts, you can't break them open and they smell like ladies,
Lyin in the sun

Arleen was a G what a G
Arleen was a G what a G
Arleen was a G what a G

Life was a thing that money could buy
Rich would live and the poor would die
Life was thing that money could buy
Rich would live and the poor would die


Arleen was a dream what a G
Arleen was a dream what a G
Arleen was a dream what a G
Arleen was a dream what a G
Arleen was a dream
What a G what a G
Lean sideway


Woke up in the morning about 10:13
Six pack of stout a stick of sensi
Woke up this morning what do I see
No no no, it's not like it, like it


Arleen was a dream what a G
Arleen was a dream what a G
Arleen was a dream what a G
Arleen was a dream what a G


{PANIC!}


Why does a rich man drink champagne?
Drink half a beer feel all the same
Life was a thing that money could buy
Rich would live and the poor would die


El Nino!
Electricity out, mine's out
Cat's been out for days
Hear it hollering on the trees over the sky


Lord Lord Lord Lord!
Can't stand it, no
Can't stand it, no
No no no I can't stand it, no
No no no I can't stand it, no


Life was a thing that money could buy
Rich would live and the poor would die
Why does a rich man drink champagne
Drink half a beer feel all the same


Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning about 10:13
Six pack of stout a stick of sensi
Go in the kitchen what do I see
No electricity
No TV
No Andy
I got my uncle (???)
Watch a whole hour of goodness and old time black and white
Loving that Barney boy


Lord!
Can't stand it, no
No no no I can't stand it, no
No no no I can't stand it, no
No no no I can't stand it, no
