The Horror and the Pain and the Ecstasy

The Horror and the Pain and the Ecstasy
Came over for dinner baby, one, two, three
They gave me a brandy, I asked for tea
I slipped on a banana, they put a spell on me

I went to the kitchen where the griddle was hot
Dusted my broom and wrung out my mop
The water was dry and the icicle hot
I stumbled toward the screen door when the hammer did drop

I woke on the porch on the precipice of doom
I grasped for a rope but clutched only the straw from the broom
The car was a haven of curious gloom
I gunned the accelerator, I couldn’t get away too soon

The Horror and the Pain the Ecstasy
Came over for dinner baby, one, two three
