IT’S A STIFF

Lyrics: David Lefkowitz. Music: Jule Styne’s “Let it Snow”)

Oh, the weather outside is frozen, 

so a Brooklyn church was chosen

All bundled in a blanket and a rag

There’s a small baby corpse in a bag.

The mother didn’t want to have her

So now she’s a blue cadaver

And it stinks if you take a whiff

It’s a stiff, it’s a stiff, it’s a stiff.

All the congregants in the church

They try to sympathize with the mother

`cause maybe in nine more months,

She’ll make a lifeless brother.

`Cause she didn’t really have an option

`cept birth control, abortion or adoption

When you’re stuck with a useless tot,

Let it rot, let it rot, let it rot.

Well, it’s kinda hard feeling merry

When you’ve got a bag of bones to bury

There’s very little skin inside;

Mummified, mummified, mummified.

They’ll measure her casket size

While a sermon’s being written

And makeup will soon disguise

Fingers all black and frostbitten. (crack!)

Now the temperature may be frigid

Enough to make a newborn rigid

Too late to save the infant’s soul.

Dig a hole, dig a hole, dig a hole.

It was just the baby’s time to die.

Wonder why, wonder why, wonder why.

PHOENIX ENVY

(Lyrics: David Lefkowitz. Music: Jimmy Webb’s “By the Time I Get to Phoenix”)

(spoken in a slur) Let go o’ me! Let go o’ me!

By the time I get to Phoenix, I’ll be weavin’
Goin’ 80 miles an hour, maybe more
I’ll smash that lame Toyota with my Beemer
If there’s damage, that’s what royalties are for

By the time the police find me, I’ll be plastered
I’ll ramble on and on and on and on and on just like a kook
I’ll kick and fight those law-enforcement bastards
And fill their breathalyzer up with puke

By the time I get to prison, I’ll be sleepin’
I’ll be dreamin’ of how big I used to be
My son will pay my bail, and he’ll be weepin’
I’ll say, “Daddy’s gonna fight this! Wait and see.

This is how most country music comes to be
Let’s go home and talk this over, you and me
(hiccups) Wait, you go. That bar is open until three.”
