Shel Silverstein - Modern Talk lyrics
(There was a time when people talked said with their mouth How they talk and it doesn't mean a thing it's called the modern talk)<BR> Now picture the scene the day is sunny A man meets a friend and asks him for some money He says I need five to keep me alive And the friend gives him this kinda jive He says zaa za voo za za voo I can't make it Va za va za voo za va see ya later so long see you later Vome zoo za vome a viddle o till then And he's right back out on the street again And then a girl gets on the phone and talks to her lover She says we got troubles that we can't keep covered I just got the news I'm knittin' baby shoes Now call up the preacher and pay your dues He says zaa za voo za za voo see you later so long huhuh I can't stand baby vome zoo za vome till then And she's right back out on the street again And then a guy gets grabbed by an army recruiter He says we're gonna put you in the khaki suiter So do not cry and don't you lie but take this test to qualify The guy says blblblblblbl huhuh till then And he's right back out on the street again And then a lady goes down to see her psychiatrist And lies on a couch to give her little head a twist Now is it a psychosis or is it a neurosis the doctor gives her this diagnosis Sayin' huhuh listen huhuh twenty dollars Huhh next Wednesday baby then we'll huhuh then She's right back out on the street again And then the preachers in the church they're blessin' and damnin' Presidents standin' there just Vietnamin' While the animals sing and politicians swing And everybody's sayin' the same damned thing They're sayin' zaa za voo za za voo you know that's modern talk |
