Central Square Song

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

Mary McGuire and Big Frank Clark
Got drunk again last night
I was waiting for my bus when they happened along
Man, it was a beautiful sight
Mary was laughing
Singing a tune
Acting like a teenage kid
She kept shouting to Frank:
"Honey I don't care"
I don't think she did

Frank was grinning from ear to ear
Two six packs under his arm
Late last night he was a happy man
Nobody could do him no harm
The two of 'em stumbled across South Main
On the Baptist Church steps they sat
Friendly frosties was popping
Empty canes was dropping
Then Mary she snatched Frank's hat

Frank grabbed Mary by the ponytail
He poured beer down the front of her dress
He kissed her on the mouth
He threw her on the ground
He just loves her that way, I guess
He picked her up
He wiped her off
She giggled and she gave him her hand
The two of 'em staggered off into the night
Like the king and the queen of the land

Mary McGuire and Big Frank Clark
Got drunk again last night
I was waiting for my bus when they happened along
Man, it was a beautiful sight
