dark inside - al duvall lyrics

some men drink to their sweethearts
some men drink to your health
me, i drink to excess
and i often toast myself
i came home drunk this morning
the wife began to shout
we fought beside the window
and we had a falling*out

’twas april 42nd
a day i still forget
the storms were on the ocean
and the fish were getting wet
i pulled them up to safety
and strung them on a line
i dried them on a sk!llet
now those fish arе doing fine
i gambled my last dollar
was thrown out in the street
took off my eton collar
thеre was nothing left to eat
i broke out of the poor house
and through the woods i went
the bloodhounds never found me
for i did not have a scent

my baby has no manners
my baby has no charm
and god was pouring in her brains
when someone knocked his arm
she’s pretty as a picture
that wasn’t painted good
i gaze at her for hours
when she’s outside chopping wood

into a vat of chili
there fell a factory man
his partner said: “well, so long, pal**
i’ll see you when i can!”
the preacher loved a schoolgirl
harrassed her on the phone
and followed her while whistling
“you’ll never walk alone”
that funeral director
that guy’s an awful flirt
his comfort and consoling’s just
to grab a piece of skirt
he’s felt a lot of widows’ bosoms
heaving as they grieved
and all his pretty orphans
must be seen to be bereaved

my school was the burlesque
the teacher had no clothes
i climbed up to her rescue
and her fescue struck my nose
sometimes i find a nickel
sometimes i find a dime
and once i found a quarter
boy, we had a swell old time!

“oh, doctor, save my buddy,”
the wounded soldier said
“his arms and legs and body’s gone
and i can’t find his head!”
the world is cold and evil
there’s no place left to hide
their skins are many colors
but all men are dark inside
