A Story (feat. Pierre Henry)
Violent Femmes

I got a storynA sad sad storynAbout a girlnWho met a boynAbout her mothernWhose vision saw hernDaughter to marrynAnother boyn(Nooo nooo nooo...)nThey made a plannTo get awaynTo run awaynAnd though it be hardnTo make that daynFreely to livenWithout the mothernThey'd send a postcardn(Nooo nooo nooo...)nOut on the interstatenThat's where they made their mistakenThat's where they met their fatenOut on the interstatenThey met a monsternThe monster of the interstatenWho will not hesitatenWho eats teenagersnLike a shark eats little fishesnWho eats bad kids disobeying parents wishesnAn interloper against the elopersnA troll at the pay tollnThey stopped at the toll boothnAnd reached for a quarternThe monster filled the whole boothnHe gave them no quarternDon't eat menChirped the girlnClutching to her pursenDon't eat menCroaked the boynOr eat her firstnI'll turn right aroundnAnd take her back to her mother'snWe repent of being out of wedlock loversnYou should have thought of that beforenAnd a scaly horny handnRipped the car lock doornAnd the boynTried to drivenBut oh boynHe was eaten alivenAnd the girlnTried to screamnBut she was swirlednIn the giant's vanilla ice creamnAnd the boy was yummynAnd the girl was yummynAs they slid down the throatnTo the monster's yellow tummynHe said:nHmm hmm goodnDidn't do like they shouldnHmm hmm goodnDidn't do like they shouldnThe mother sold thenRights to the storynIt was so scarynThis gory storynThey made a movienA horror movienThe mother made a millionnAnd the producers made a billionnAnd that other sweet boynThat my daughter has shunnednNow I'm his wife and he's my husbandnThe moral of this storynIs clear for all to seenAnd if clearly all can seenThen it isn't clear to me
