Know Nothing Snowball
I walk into Dunk And Dine
to have breakfast
and usher in the dawn.
In the back booth with a cigarette
I think of you
and know there's something going on.
You left me on the sidewalk
looking up
hearing laughter on the second floor.
People say I'm stone crazy
to be in love with you
and get nothing more.
See no evil,
Speak no evil,
Smell no evil,
you're a Know Nothing Snowball.
I remember last year in the hallway
of the Courtyard Marriott.
I was standing on the balconly
as you rode by in your chariot.
Staring in the mirror
I know sometimes I look quite ancient.
But I steal a line or two
and with some alchemy
make it transcendant.
Speak no evil,
Stand for evil,
See no evil,
you're a Know Nothing Snowball.
She blew him a kiss goodbye
on a transatlantic video conference.
As she smiled across several time zones
His heart broke worldwide
straight through the circumference.
Lost in the Piggly Wiggly
looking for a bag of cheese.
Roger Whittaker crooning about the last farewell
nostalgia nearly brings me
to my knees.
I think of you as a little girl here
summer mudpies still smouldering
Tarzan and the Green Berets
John Brown in his grave moldering.
Speak no evil,
Stand for evil,
See no evil,
you're a Know Nothing Snowball.
I'm back at the Dunk And Dine
to have breakfast
and usher in the dawn.
In the back booth with a cigarette
I think of you
and know there's something going on.
You left me on the sidewalk
looking up
hearing laughter on the second floor.
People say I'm stone crazy
to be in love with you
and get nothing more.
See no evil,
Speak no evil,
Smell no evil,
you're a Know Nothing Snowball.
