Dispatch Bang Bang
she woke me up with a bang, bang looking over cross eyed had a big hunch that the world was a big lie when I got up all the blood to my head I got so dizzy fell back to my bed I went over to the wayside looking for the high tide what will I find will I find will I find all I saw was a man that had a hat that had a pom-pom he's been there for years can someone tell me how long [CHORUS:] wake up to tell me wake up to show me what I could not find you see this woman woke me up at a quarter to three and I didn't know it then but she put a spell on me said I had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea and meet an old man to present my plea so I headed way down to the big pier to await and confront my big fear I wheeled around behind to my blindside to find and old man with a lime and a kind eye mister, mister withyour beard so long won't you be a saint and tell me just where I'm going he pointed to a conch shell and then to the lime and said this is all I really need to get by [CHORUS] hey mister man I know you don't know who you think I am but I can safely say that I should've been sleeping the day away I said 'scuse me, if you've got the time he shrugged his shoulders said get a spine coconut hit me on the head jonesin' for a fig I booked last night I need another fix just then I see a twinkle twinkle in the old man's eye and a wave tossed bottle in thrown to the sky I caught it on the rebound it landed with a soft sound I took out the message and put the bottle down inside was the antidote to the spell I read it to the old man 'cause he couldn't read so well said don't worry about a thing you know your path is true just ease your mind have a banana or two well, goodness, goodness, woe is me the man nearly flipped to learn that he was free but just before we left and started kicking it I picked up the bottle and star sixed it kick kick, shuffle shuffle back to the beach with a tune on my lip and my quest in reach if that woman comese to you with her song so sweet, say damn let the poor sucker sleep
