KICK IN THE HEAD

(ROBERT HUNTER)

DO YOU THINK WE CAN WORK IT ON OUT?
CHANGE THE WHOLE PROPOSITION ABOUT?
I’M IN NO POSITION FOR AN ACT OF SEDITION
BUT I REALLY LOVE TO SCREAM AND SHOUT

HALF A LOAF IS BETTER THAN A KICK IN THE KNEE
IS THERE GONNA BE SOME TEA
OR JUST MORE SYMPATHY?
I REALLY GOT A PUMPER ON THE LINE THIS TIME
IT’S MINE, MINE, MINE

I RAN TO THE KING OF CREATION
I TOLD HIM: SAVE A BIT FOR ME
THE WAY THINGS LOOK I COULD HAVE WRITTEN THE BOOK
YOU KNOW I CAN HARDLY READ

SALLY DOES YOUR DOG BITE? NO, NO, NO
KEEP HIM ON A CHOKE CHAIN, REEL HIM OUT SLOW
GOT A LITTLE PLACE, CALL IT MY OWN
IT NEVER REALLY WAS A HOME

WENT TO THE COLLEGE OF EVIL,
THE SMOKE NEARLY DROVE ME AWAY
I’D GO CRAZY IF I WASN’T SO LAZY,
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY?

THE WHITE-FACE LYDIAN JUDGE
WON’T YOU GIVE A LITTLE ONE-TWO-THREE
HIM DOWN ON THE CORNER
SINGING "LITTLE JACK HORNER"
BUT YOU GOTTA LET THE GRAVY BE

A WHOLE LOAF IS BETTER THAN A KICK IN THE HEAD
IF YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU MEAN
I’LL TELL YOU WHAT I SAID
I SENT YOU FOR JELLY, YOU COME BACK WITH JAM
WHO EXACTLY DO YOU THINK I AM?
