Lounge Lizard Lyrics

Well, the lounge lizard got nervous, so he shuffled in for a drink

And he'd never had service like this or so he thinks

There once was a waitress with powder blue eyes

She had red on black lace, perfume on sweat

Lounge lizard don't you weep

Light your patchouli oil

So, we all got excited, and we just slept out on the road

And we waited for the arrival of this prophet or so I'm told

There were cymbals and harmonicas, banjos and violins

So, everyone got together to join a band

Lounge lizard don't you weep

Light your patchouli oil

And he showed up in a robe that was dragging in the grass

He had heartbreak and psoriasis, and he was drinking double black

So, he slithered, and he snaked till the sirens roared

And the jukebox it was croaking with every drink that he poured

Lounge lizard don't you weep

Light your patchouli oil

The jazz police were furious, his timing wasn't right

There was nothing he could do except practice every night

So, he prayed, and he prayed to every god that he could find

But none of them got back to him, just wasted his precious time

Lounge lizard don't you weep

Light your patchouli oil
