Lyrics
"howl"
there's a scandal brewin' and the cat's out the bag
and that flash undertaker's on a cryin' jag
he was last seen at the tailor's stuffin' garments in a bag
but there are some things you can't fix, not even with a flag
i say howl, goddamit howl
the bed bugs are bitin' and the rats are crazed
i seen polly wolly doodle walkin' round in a daze
with a magnifying glass blindly aimin' the rays
but the weatherman said it's been rainin' for days
i say howl, goddamit howl, goddamit howl
i been havin' jabberwocky dreams
where everything wrong still feels like it seems
and i can't find the new grave
but i can hear the screams of the trowel
i can fool all for some and fool some for all
but all the king's horses can't return me to the wall
now all i can do is lie in the hall and howl
goddamit howl, goddamit howl
the banisters end before they reach the ground
and i know that ol' scatman is lurkin around
he's probably clamorin' for the cook to throw some railroad down
he cuts a hole in the bread to keep the eggs around
i say howl, goddamit howl
well, the sins of this past are long and forgotten now
the undertaker went to cleveland, he's a tailor now
and polly wolly doodle laid ol' scatman down
and forecasted his weather 'til his rain came down
i say howl, goddamit howl, goddamit howl
