lyrics

Johnny Crutchley was a friendless child
He took a wife, and he kept her well hid (yes he did)
Mr. Steranko, what did they call him?
You won’t miss him when you know what he did
We need assistance in the pain and sleep department
Call the boys in from the piano bar (you know who they are)
You made a scene, didn’t know just what your part meant
Now I can’t see you but I know where you are
Hiawatha guards the river
He keeps his arms out for the promise of the sky
See my seagown (what’s a seagown?)
Scarfed around me (it surrounds me)
Mr. Steranko, watch the river roll by
Johnny Crutchley sleeps through the daytime (that’s my awake time)
Mr. Steranko tell me what do you bid?
Don’t get sloppy, watch what you’re saying
Now you’re messing with the Wichita Kid
And we won’t miss him when he’s gone
