12th Chorus

A young woman flees an old man,
Mohammedan Prophecy:
And she got avocados
Anyhow.

    The furtive whore
    Looks over her shoulder
While unlocking the door
    Of the tenement
    Of her pimp
Who with big Negro Arkansas
Or East Texas Oilfields
Harry Truman hat's
    Been standin on the street
       All day
       Waiting for the cold girl
       Bending in thincoat in the wind
       And Sunday afternoon drizzle
       To step on it & get some bread
         For Papa's gotta sleep tonite
         And the Chinaman's coming back
