Nighttown
On a night in september, 1982
I chose not the right thing to do
The rain fell heavily on the shingles
On couples and on lonely singles
I went out into the night, not caring
My rainproof mukluks I was wearing
A grave error of judgement, as it turned out
The sun did shine; I had to pout
I trudged along the highways, looking for hope
Lugging my knapsack, dragging my rope
And found myself lost in a city of lights
Damn! My mukluks have worn a hole in my tights
In sorry pain I staggered to a seedy looking inn.
The nude in the window beckoned me "come in"
I wasn't too sure, then thought, "what the hell"
But I'm glad I did, she sure was swell!
So when you are beckoned by a nude from an inn
Take off your mukluks, it's time to sin
But take my advice, make sure she's eighteen
And be doubly sure she's not a drag queen
And so ends my tale of mukluks and sin
