Tarotplane lyrics

Baby Percy told Elixir Sue
Listen to me baby
I’m gonna tell it to you
Gonna need somebody on your bond
You gonna need some bodies on your bond
Just you bear this in mind
True friends is hard to find
You gonna need some bodies on your bond

Gonna need somebody on your bond
You gonna need some bodies on your bond
Just you bear this in mind
True friends is hard to find
You gonna need some bodies on your bond
I say bear this in mind
I say bear this in mind
Just you bear this in mind
True friends is hard to find
You gonna need some bodies on your bond

Ya done put mice in the radiator
Razors in the clay
Well, they keeps us working all night
Don’t give us no pay
Don’t give us no pay

Automatic Sam told Everready Betty told Prestcold Milly

For a fly, for a fly
Baby Percy told Elixir Sue
Oh, listen to me baby

Just what you been heard – just what you been told
You gonna need somebody on your bond

Baby Percy told Elixir Sue
Listen to me baby
Mice in the razors, clay in the heaters
Mice in the razors, clay in the heaters

You gonna need somebody on your bond

Automatic Sam told Everready Betty told Prestcold Milly
With the long black wavey mane
Oh listen little girl don’t you understand?
Oh, you ain’t too old

You gonna need somebody on your bond
You gonna need some bodies on your bond
Just you bear this in mind
True friends is hard to find
