The New World Wave

The New World Wave - Lambchop

And Harry was a butcher

Loretta did the books

And Connie was their only child

And I was born to be a clerk

I trained to be a teacher

But I couldn't find the work

I just wasn't cut out

I had some time to burn

And I must eat

And must taste

The show is over

What a waste

In 1929

Harry and Loretta

A son was to be had

Some called him easy buckets

My brother called him dad

Not putting the hot dog in the bun for me

And there's just one thing gonna slow me down

Our sleeves drag through the mustard

Doing the new world wave

Ohh Nashville

Doing the new world wave

A scene is set

The stars are indifferent

I'm right here

I'm just not a parent

Wow, it just got moody

I got no spell to weave

No bedtime stories

For the unemployed

They say he sold his guitar

For car

Time waited

You bring the ice

You must have missed the bucket

How's that going down tonight ?

We're on another planet

Doin the new world wave

Oh goddamnit

I'm reaching out to you

Doin the new world wave

Recall all the details

Of the new world wave

C'mon mama
