Jehosaphat the mongrel cat
Jumped off the roof today
Some would say he fell but I could tell
He did himself away
His eyes weren`t bright like they were the night
We played checkers on the train
God Bless his soul he was a tootsie roll
But he`s a dead cat just the same
Chorus:
We are living in the future
I`ll tell you how Iknow
I read it in the paper
Fifteen years ago
We`re all driving rocket ships
And talking with our minds
And wearing turquoise jewelry
And standing in soup lines
We are standing in soup lines
Jake the barber`s lonely daughter
Went down to her daddy`s shop
She plugged herself to a barber pole
And took a little off the top
Pressure on the left. Pressure on the right
Pressure in the middle of the hole
I`m goin` to Maine on a forty foot crane
I`m gonna use it for a fishin` pole
Chorus
Old Sarah Brown sells tickets down
At the all night picture show
Where they grind out sex
And they rate it with an X
Just to make a young man`s pants grow
No tops no bottoms just hands and feet
Screaming the posters out on the street
Strangling the curious and the weak
We give `em what they want to see - O
