Greg Brown Bozo's In Love Again
Bozo's woes would fill a well,
Yeah, he looks bad even when he's doin' swell.
His eyes are a definition of bereft,
Yeah, he looks like somethin' that the cat left.
Uh oh, the bozo, he's in love again.
Uh oh, the bozo, he's in love again.
Ho ho, he met her at the disco,
On the west side of Saint Louie MO.
She put her rawboned fingers to his pants,
He said, "Baby, I can't dance."
Uh oh, the bozo, he's in love again.
Uh oh, the bozo, he's in love again.
Ah well, he drove back to Aloha Trailer Park,
She did a lot of bright things in the dark.
She told him she was never late for work,
He said, "I love you"; she said, "You poor jerk."
Uh oh, the bozo, he's in love again.
Uh oh, the bozo, he's in love again.
Well, he followed her to the Hallmark Cards and Gifts,
5-oh-9 he offered her a lift.
5-oh-10 she got in her own car,
5-oh-11 he was sitting in a bar.
He was singin', uh oh, the bozo, he's in love again.
Uh oh, the bozo, he's in love again.
2:12 back in his hotel,
He called her and a man said, "Go to hell."
2:16 he gets a hamburger, edge of town,
Broken-hearted and homeward bound.
Uh oh, the bozo, he's in love again.
Uh oh, the bozo, he's in love again.
3:16 p.m. a little roadside cafe,
Nicotine and caffeine, his recent past away.
The waitress said, "You look bad, and then she
coughed,"
Bozo said, "What time do you get off?"
Uh oh, the Bozo, he's in love again.
Uh oh, the Bozo, he's in love again.
He just another bozo, he's in love again.
Just another b-b-bozo, he's in love (he been all around
the world, but he)
Just another bozo, he's in love again.
(He's a real sharp guy, but he's) a bozo [repeat and
fade]
