Palm Tree On Avenue G

Let us buy a little house we can fix up

Move it all in your girlfriend’s truck

We’ll need some plants in our rooms, lots of cartoons

A dirty carpet for a witch’s broom

We’ll need a market down the street, roller skates for our feet

A local laundromat where we’ll watch TV

And a pawn shop not far, you can lend your guitars

And buy ‘em back when there’s more bread in the jar

And that’s all, that we’ll need to get by

We’ll bring our neighbor’s some coffee, peppers, and cherry-lime

We’ll have a dog with one eye, a cat that climbs across our chipped fence, a palm outside (a palm outside)

Smoke on your pipe, while I sip on my beer

We’ll pack our worries up away for the year

And if it all works as planned, maybe someday we can

Live off on some distant beach in a van

We’ll have a garden that rises up in the spring

And color it in in some paint-stained jeans

And that’s all, that we’ll need to get by

We’ll bring our neighbor’s some demo tapes of you and I

And that’s all (and that’s all)

That we’ll need to get by (we'll need to get by)

And that’s all (and that’s all)

That we’ll need to get by (we'll need to get by)

We’ll have our neighbor’s come by, and join us for a fish fry
