[part i: maureen, maureen]
[intro]
this is a real short song i’m writing for anthony perkins ’cause
he scares me more than anybody
somebody took me to see jaws, you know, and i’d
swore i wouldn’t, wasn’t gonna go see it, you know, and
this guy said, “here, we’ll do this and we’ll go see it,” you know, and
i said, “will it scare me?” and he said, “yeah”
i said, “okay, i’ll go”
so i went, i never blinked, there was a, god, there was a terrible
i got the, i started thinking about when i saw psycho, i just
this girl, i can’t remember her name, and
we both forgot each other’s names, we forgot our own names
we were under the seat going “is it over? is it over?”
[verse 1]
maureen, maureen, i shot a doctor last night on the airplane
they said he wouldn’t hurt us
but he got me real nervous and mean
he was fat and he stank
god knows that he drank more than we do
so i shot him in the first class then i bailed out and ran home to you
[chorus]
but you don’t believe me
i could tell by your smile
oh, honey, why don’t you leave me?
get lost for awhile
[verse 2]
maureen, maureen, i shot a doctor last night on the airplane
they said he wouldn’t hurt us
but he got me real nervous and mean, nervous and mean
[part ii: pretty good]
[verse 1]
i got a friend in fremont
he sells used cars, you know
well, he calls me up twice a year
just to ask me, “how’d it go?”
[chorus]
“pretty good, not bad, i can’t complain
but actually, everything is just about the same”
[verse 2]
i met a girl from venus
her insides were lined in gold
well, she did what she did, said “how was it, kid?”
she was politely told
[chorus]
“pretty good, not bad, i can’t complain
but actually, everything is just about the same”
[refrain]
moonlight makes me dizzy
sunlight makes me clean
your light is the sweetest thing
that this boy has ever seen
[verse 3]
molly went to arkansas
she got raped by dobbin’s dog
well, she was doing good ’til she went in the woods and got
pinned up against a log
[chorus]
pretty good, not bad, she can’t complain
’cause actually, all them dogs are just about the same
[refrain]
moonlight makes me dizzy
sunlight makes me clean
your light is the sweetest thing
that this boy has ever seen
[verse 4]
i heard allah and buddha
were singing at the savior’s feast
and up in the sky an arabian rabbi
fed quaker oats to a priest
[chorus]
pretty good, not bad, they can’t complain
’cause actually, all them gods are just about the same
pretty good, not bad, i can’t complain
’cause actually, everything is just about the same
[outro]
i got a, a big fat letter about that last song about two weeks ago
from a guy that didn’t like that i thought that all his gods are just about the same
she said, he said, “oh no they’re not”
he proceeded for fourteen pages to tell me
then he said “shalom,” you know?
he wanted to beat me up with bibles
