Bruno's Place

(álbum: Loudon Wainwright III (aka Album I) - 1970)

Several stars plays guitars
And were backed with feeling by
A chopstick wielding rhythm section

Cyclotron Iris gone
With a dress she was lending
And your left thumb is bending northeast

Cooking fishes, making wishes
Try without thinking to
Stop all your blinking and anger

Bruno has a lovely place
It's down on seventh street
Bruno has a lovely place
I go there when I eat
But I don't eat meat
It's bad for my feet

Yoga girls, Swanegie's pearls
The boy with the earring
Has broken his steering wheel

Baptist John is holding on
Tora Lee's leaving a son
She's bereaving who's nine

Ricky deals and Rufus squeals
And puppy dog Irving
Is honestly swerving my question

And Bruno has a lovely place
It's down on seventh street
Bruno has a lovely place
I go there when I eat
But I don't eat meat
It's bad for my feet

Thomas sleeps and Rita weeps
Her buttons were busted
By the man the she trusted he left her

Yes and Marta pleads while Roger kneads
The bread he's baking
The girls he's taking, he's worried

Well, I have no doubt I'll get the gout
Though it's rice that I'm eating
My intestines are cleaning

And Bruno has a lovely place
It's down on seventh street
Bruno has a lovely place
I go there when I eat
But I don't eat meat
It's bad for my feet
