Got a Lot of What it Takes to Get Along Lyrics

Arrange my hands

As you lay me down to rest

A house of flowers and a fiery family crest

Bandleader and some bagpipes

To accompany the funeral March into the night

If you have other plans leave me amidst the pines

You'll continue east, boozing, rambling along

Pour out a drop for those deceased

Who waver and waste in song

Those on the run from the road and the railways, reptilian and wise

I don't want to die

Chimney sweep says "without my act I'm worthless

I wouldn't want to pass any more of your time

Dance on the seats like a flea at the circus

The movie went long and there's thunder and hail outside

Carnies, give me shelter, let's cover New York in…

Confetti my love

We've got a lot of what it takes to get along so splendidly

Yes my love

Got a lot of what it takes even if we have to do so separately

I digress my love

I would want and you wouldn't want to sleep next to me

Nonetheless my love

Sweaty and horny, drowning in drugstores and daiquiris

Must confess my love

Wide awake, eating myself to death desperately

But there's hope yet my love

The birds sing their songs even as bulls buck mechanically

Don't distress my love

Even if we don't have what it takes, at least we can try to get along tenderly"
