Crackhouse Blues

Adam Green

Johnny please don't tell the people bout the bluebirds flight 
Wasting education on a Tuesday night 
Yes, you are my pussy, you're just being mean 
Covering up the muscle in your Jordash jeans 

Stick up the phone, who is it? 
Someone has come to visit 
Everybody do the hokey pokey, do the crackhouse blues! 

Do the mashed potato till your feet glow green 
Got to sweep the floor to keep the crackhouse clean 
Took me to the movies, but the doctor said 
Leave him to get beaten by the black eyed meds 

Stick up the phone, who is it? 
Someone has come to visit 
Everybody do the hokey pokey, do the crackhouse blues! 

Now the captain ran for cover when the steamboats crashed 
Driving off the bridges cause they got no class 
Barbara's got my number, now I've got to run 
Pizzas to deliver in the crackhouse slum, you know... 

Sometimes when the night gets hot 
I search around for the crack I lost 
I wouldn't expect for you to notice me 
I would not expect you to say 'Johnny!' 

Do the mashed potato till your feet glow green 
Got to sweep the floor to keep the crackhouse clean 
Took me to the movies, but the doctor said 
Leave him to get beaten by the black eyed meds 

Stick up the phone like we do 
Someone has come to see you
