(Rickie Lee Jones)
Sal was working at Nyro's Nook in downtown
Sending articles of congress to these people downtown
He was pretty sleezy when I met him
A weasel in a poor boys wool
Sal lives in a black vinyl pen in New Jersey
Buys his meat from a whore next door
Wants it rare but he gets it well
A weasel on a short order floor
(Chorus)
So, Sal say good-bye to your mom and your dad
Sal, say good-bye to your barrio
sal, say good-bye to your buddies and your pals
Angela, Perry and Mario
Kid Sinister with the Bus Stop Blues
A quarter could take you home
A dime could make a dream come true
But a weasel ain't got a dime for the phone
(Does a weasel got a dime for the phone?)
(Chorus)
You dancin' in the welfare lines, Sal
Actin' like some jerk-off fool
When we could lay out eatin' peaches on the beaches
A Weasel in a White Boy's Cool
But we're all in a white boy's school
(Just like a weasel) |
