Prelude to “The Purse” Songtext

Prelude to “The Purse” Songtext
I don′t know that I'm on but I don′t get the sound of that chair, so you know where I'm at
And then he took it like this
It's gonna fall on the Christmas tree
I don′t know that I′m actually on, but he actually took the thing and he ruffled it around and he says
"Oh, oh boy, am I gonna throw this down?", and then he...
Then he went
Second one's fun
It was classic, because he knew it was on tape
But we′re going to get something to drink
We'll return, would you boys like anything to drink?
Hey, analyze the purse
Yeah, yeah
I′ll give you a buck or so
No
Give us a buck or so, we'll go get...
Oh, Jesus, man, my ass
I can tell, man, you′re a Catholic
Right, I'll take your dollar
Hey, where's the "or so"?
Where′s the "or so"?
Or so?
You said "a buck or so"
The "or so" when you get back
He gives you an "or so"
The or so for the torso, right?
Who′s driving?
He's funny
That guy with the nose?
Funny
He′s a Catholic
Hey, what would you like to drink?
Hey, how'd you know that?
What was your first clue?
Was it the letter from the sister?
It was the Pomona Catholic High School report card
What do you want to drink?
Good clue
Well, just get something, I′ll help you drink it
Come on, Raymond
Kimosabe?
I don't have any money either
Hey, will one of you guys lend me some money?
I′ll loan you some gray matter
Yeah, she does
Be right back
I'm gonna be a Catholic priest
Any time you like
But if you don't care to, that′s all right because...
Actually, acts, you know, casual
Out the door we go
But all the time we know that we′re on
We're showmen, what do you want?
Yeah, we′re gonna talk about you
Now you really get it out, smart-ass
I'd like to be a Catholic priest, daddy
You see this?
Every month, 42 dollars from each person in high school
Oh yeah?
Yeah, receipt right here
For the Syndicate
You bet
They′re doing something weird going on there
See what else we can find here
She's adding up her total
She just quit
Here, come here
Pull up a chair and analyze the thing while I go take a leak
And then he took it like this
It's gonna fall on the Christmas tree
I don′t know that I′m actually on, but he actually took the thing and he ruffled it around and he says
"Oh, oh boy, am I gonna throw this down?", and then he...
