Earrings Off! - Adult Jazz

The golden boy in my head

He polishes a medal

With wit and a bit of muscle

He always keeps it level

Got bass tones in the buggy

So he gives a heavy hello

And if he’s 1940's

He whistles through a meadow

He’s pressed upon me

I should

Should have known it

I should

I should have know it when

I cast that spell as I got my hair cut short

He called me tiger

And he ruffled me for sport

I should have known it when

My brother punched and kicked his earrings off!

Stifled the magpie and has not gone near jewelry seriously since then

We make the boy a banner

Heavy so he can carry

Carry but he can’t look up

And ever read the letters

I make my life his double

Try and do what he’s gonna

And if I’m gonna sweat it

I take a glass of water

Are you happy with that?

Happy?

Happy with that?

Happy?

I should have know it when

I cast that spell as I got my hair cut short

He called me tiger

And he ruffled me for sport

I should have known it when

My brother punched and kicked his earrings off!

Stifled the magpie and has not gone near jewelry seriously since then

Oh to see swathes of them

With not a thing chipped off nothing chipped on

Born in silence, slid easy through an edgeless tube

From the first lips

Then all lips after waiting to be told
