lyrics

Miss Mosey—broke, cold
Teeth pearly—crowned with gold
Toes painted, eyeballs, too
Lookin’ at her but talkin’ to you
Stunned, stunted, cast off, sacked
Home is a house and the house been shacked
Ask for Ike, goes by Jack
Looks like a James—don’t look back

Carry on, Mosey
You know he’d want you to
You’re well-versed
In the language of the cursed
Come on, you can make it through

All for nothin' and nothin' for free
Quarter down, up a barren tree
Ain't she a picture, ain't it nice
Gift it to you, half the price

Beware of butchers
They’ll cut yah ‘cause they can
The only rule
In the land of the mule
Do not trust an honest man

Tear the ticket, dust the broom
Show you where a bride meets a groom
Have your cake, eat it too
Roses are red and violets are

Carry on, Mosey
Like the crow that flies
Through worms crawlin’
Through apples fallin’
Through the iron-tinted skies

Steel-eyed, sharp-dressed, handsome, but
Don’t put on airs, trust your gut
Eye for an eye, gold tooth for a face
Two for one – comes with a case
