Lyrics

Hey, anybody do anything interesting this weekend? Just resting my freshly broken metatarsal in Johannesburg. Just this once, I'm not joking.


They’ve come from across the country
But don’t call ‘em Littles’ Nation, son
Like Fredo Corleone they’re smart they’re not dumb!
They’ve gathered to pay homage, and to raise a cup of cheer
When the radio’s on, and they’re playing your song, these folks know how that feels

But I’ve missed Jingles Liver
Oh Jingles Liver I’m cryin’
Oooh I’ve missed Jingles Liver tonight

That skin milk song is repugnant
And, yeah, that was one I wrote
And loads of them are off key, but the truth is I’m just in it for the jokes
But it turns out I have a day job, and no longer share my parents address
So I won’t be here, I’m in the wrong hemisphere
Anthropology's a cruel mistress

And so I’ve missed Jingles Liver
Oh Jingles Liver I’m cryin’
Ooh oh I’ve missed Jingles Liver tonight

After Springsteen's "The Liver, er River"

    Preach, brother. I had to miss it too, though no broken bones for me.
