Frank's Wild Years

frank settled down in the valley,

And he hung his wild years on a

Nail that he drove through his

Wife's forehead.



He sold used office furniture out

There on san fernando road and

Assumed a $30,000 loan at

15 1/4 % and put a down payment

On a little two bedroom place.



His wife was a spent piece of used jet trash

Made good bloody-marys, kept her mouth

Shut most of the time, had a little chihuahua

Named carlos that had some kind of skin

Disease and was totally blind.



They had a thoroughly modern kitchen;

Self-cleaning oven (the whole bit)

Frank drove a little sedan.

They were so happy.



One night frank was on his way home

From work, stopped at the liquor store,

Picked up a couple of mickey's big mouth's.

Drank 'em in the car on his way to the

Shell station; he got a gallon of gas in a can.



Drove home, doused everything in

The house, torched it.

Parked across the street laughing,

Watching it burn, all halloween

Orange and chimney red.



Frank put on a top forty station,

Got on the hollywood freeway

Headed north.



Never could stand that dog.
