lyrics

I know the lady in the obituary
I know the lady in the obit
lookin kinda like a lizard a little like a hen
with a curled and receding lower lip

I know the lady who just died
kept a jar of home preserves
clenched between her thighs
smoked Cameo Menthol King Size
I painted the house
of the lady who just died

Her back porch curtain was blue plastic
cut into flapping strips
she had one lazy eye and wide load swinging hips
"You boys want a Coke?"
leaning from the window she would say
her husband died quite young
his name was Ray
