Athens, Ohio

And I listened to her

Without trying to come up with an excuse to leave

She used to laugh so hard at

Something she thought of on the toilet

That she just about fell off the toilet seat

Wasn't snowing out anymore

But every once in a while you could hear a car not

Being able to get started

All too easily, all too easily, all too easily

She might have been the

Usual sort of

Landlady smelling

Of washing-soda

And backing-powder

She was one of these very tall

Round-shouldered

Women, she was

About six-four with lousy teeth. She

Came over to me, and gave me

These two playful as hell slaps

On both my cheeks

I gave her the wrong idea perhaps

She shouldn't be allowed to watch

Any and every program

All too easily, all too easily, all too easily

She might have been the

Usual sort of

Fifty-three miles

Miles an hour

In a forty mile-zone and attempted bribery

Mary Springer married Jerry

And everything

Smelled as if she

Had loads and loads

Of Vicks nose-drops
