Fifty Things
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Paul told us all he's gonna have a baby
But Jeanie said "Paul can't do that"
So Paul got mad and left in a hurry
Now Jeanie's sure he forgot his hat
I've got fifty things to do
But I'll get back to you
(and)
Somebody left a body in the basement
No I'm not sure just a' who it is
But Tamara went down there and saw it this morning
She says it kinda looks like her Uncle Jim
I've got fifty things to do
But I'll get back to you
(and)
No I won't do your dishes
No I won't clean up this mess
No I haven't got any pills
No I haven't got any hash
No I won't do your dishes
I won't clean up this goddamn mess
Chuck got up and made a cup of coffee
Stepped on a roach and went back to bed
When Tina got up she saw the roach
"Is this for breakfast?" is what she said
I've got fifty things to do
But I'll get back to you
(and)
Pat's comin' over about 2:30
Danny'll be here 'bout quarter to four
If one more person comes to see me
Gonna have to get a revolvin' door
No I haven't seen your skateboard
I haven't seen your Black Flag patch
No I haven't seen your records
I haven't seen any of that
No I haven't seen your skateboard
I haven't seen your Black Flag patch
Barbara I'm sorry if you were unhappy
But you can't say I didn't try
So many things I wanted to do
So many things, but such little time
I've got fifty things to do
But I'll get back to you
Fifty things to do
But I'll get back to you
