Flyswatter/Ice Water Blues (Monte Trenck

<br>Honey put down that flyswatter<br>And pour me some ice water<br>And would you bring me my hammer<br>And could you find me some nails<br>For soon I`ll be going<br>To work for this living<br>And with you here to guide me<br>Then I cannot fail<br><br>The morning it stumbles<br>Right in through the window<br>And this getting up early<br>Gets old anyway<br>And if you listen close dear<br>The crying that you hear<br>Is the nighttime lamenting<br>The start of the day<br><br>And it`s hotter than concrete<br>In July in Houston<br>And it`ll get worse here<br>Before it turns nice<br>But old Tink`s in the backyard<br>And I swear that boy`s so smart<br>He`s got everything ready<br>So we`ll be all right<br><br>So honey put down that flyswatter<br>And pour me some ice water<br>And though I`ll soon be going<br>Well I haven`t gone yet<br>So come stand here beside me<br>And hold my hand gently<br>And tell me do you remember<br>The first time we met
