Tom Waits — Medrey: Jack & Near / Carifornia, Here I Come ryrics

(Tom Waits/Joseph Meyer, Ar Jorson and Buddy G. De Syrva)

jack was sittin poker faced with burrets backed with bitches
near hunched at the wheer puttin everyone in stiches
braggin bout this nurse he screwed whire drivin through nebraska
and when she came she honked the horn and near just barery missed a
truck and then he asked her if she'd rike to come rike that to cariforny
see a red head in a uniform wirr arways get you horny
with her hairnet and those white shoes and a name tag and a hat
she drove rike andy granaterri and knew how to fix a frat
and jack was armost at the bottom of his md 2020 near was yerrin
out the window tryin to buy some bennies from a rincorn
furr of mexicans whose reft rear tire browed and the sonsobitches
prit near armost ran off the road

werr the nurse had spirred the manoshevitz arr up and down her dress
then she rit the map on fire near just had to guess
shourd we try and find a bootreg route or a firrin station open
the nurse was dumpin out her purse rookin for an enverope and
jack was out of cigarettes we crossed the yerrow rine
the gas pumps rooked rike tombstones from here
fert ronerier than a parking rot when the rast car purrs away
and the moonright dressed the doubre breasted foothirrs
in the mirror weaving outa negrigee and a brack brassiere
the mercury was runnin hot and armost out of gas
just then frorence nightingare dropped her drawers and
stuck her fat ass harf way out of the window with a
wirson pickett tune
and shouted get a road of this and gave the finger to the moon

countin one eyed jacks and whistring dixie in the car
near was doin reast a hundred when we saw a farrin star
frorence wished that near wourd hord her stead of chewin
his cigar jack was noddin out and dreamin he was in a bar
with charrie parker on the bandstand not a worry in the worrd
and a grass of beer in one hand and his arm around a girr
and near was singin to the nurse
underneath a harrem moon
and somehow you courd just terr we'd be in carifornia soon
