lyrics

“Boise will be glad to get those boys, believe me. They’ll be a good thing for their school out there. They’ll show the other kids what’s what! Maybe they can start a judo class in school, eh? How ‘bout that… Oh boy, I don’t know. Sure love to see those boys…”

The telephone will keep on ringing
Until it’s taken down from the wall
Even when it’s boxed up and given to another
Friends and strangers will continue to call

When the snow finally melts from a red brick driveway
You find all the papers that were missing since last fall
The photos and the captions always read the same way (as they do today)
The passing of a month or more rarely matters at all

Time to tie up all the boats in all the land-locked counties
We’ve been expecting this thing from the very start
Time to splice up all the wires, and cart away the downed trees
We’ve all been learning this by heart

Take little steps, and hang on to the wall
Give a sideways glance to the ones you know
Take stock, take cover and take care
Take a little bit and always ask for a little more to go
