Down At the Station in Paris

the roman gypsies get hauled down

to the station with

a guele & a little ratty

case of the pick

but the Texans get their own receiver

down at the station

at last there’s a cactus language

they can understand

as the fox wraps its way around

the show-pony’s shoulders
it's off

to the station we go

with the desperate down & dirty

alligator in his pocket

there’s something for every toad

to report

and though all the charm in the dame

comes to nought

there’s no harm in trying it on

that’s the racket they run

down at the station
