lyrics

i took a taxi from brooklyn
it dropped me off in times square
i met this really fine woman
she showed me what she had down there

she said she had it for sale
and that she'd send it by mail
she'd said she'd send me one more telegram
sexy telegram

i took a train up from austin
got off in memphis tennessee
met some songwriter from boston
she showed me what she had to see

she said....

she said she'd write it down in a letter
and send it out over the wire
but i'll be damned if i'm ever gonna let her
set my soul on fire

i took a tram from andover
it dropped me off in amsterdam
a nice dutch woman bent over
she said, "come hither uncle sam."

she said....

about

Paul Tabachneck New York

I started doing music in Pittsburgh, fronting the folk-rock band Stone Soup, the dark-pop band Dead Pressed Flowers, and the Power Pop band Manpig aka Everybody Wins. After that, I moved to New York, mostly playing solo and busking a lot. Now I live in CT and play in my home office because everything is bad and no one can go out. See me Wednesdays at 7:30 at facebook.com/paultab! ... more
