william finn - throw it out lyrics

Loading...

[mimi]
clean and polish
mop and glo
his studio
till all is gleaming
firmly, i’ll demolish
any sort of mayhem in this place

oh, god
what a mess!
books scattered all over
i don’t want to guess
how long he’ll live
or if he’ll live

he better live!

stupid books
all his reading
his brain’s bleeding-
i know why
’cause of books
they have made his brain explode

d-mn these books
so much flotsam
i could plotz, am
i distressed?
who’d have guessed
books would make his brain explode?

book called “mother courage”
always about mothers
what about the others?
fathers and the brothers?
throw it out

here’s “a mother’s kisses”
always it’s the missus
never it’s the tateh
literary shmatte
throw it out

if i don’t throw out the books
i will throw myself out the window

-sshole
yes, sir, he’s an -sshole
how can he just sit there
thinking he will die

-sshole
where’s his fight and vigor?
this, then, is my rigor-
ous reply

book by norman mailer
throw it out
egotistic jew!
“how to meet a sailor”
good son
throw it out
what’s a mom to do?

“search for warren harding”
who’s he?
show him out
i just keep discarding
you’ll see-
throw it out
and you’ll come through
here’s what you do:
throw it out

i trust
he won’t see me crying
i’ll keep on denying
what’s becoming clear
it’s just-
even though he’s dying
he will see me laugh and joke and sneer

throwing out is petty
which i must admit
but it’s deeply felt
still i’m getting ready
to deal with the shit
i’ve been lately dealt

bye bye goes his trollop!
bye-bye!
life sure packs a wallop
which i won’t deny!
but we’ll come through
here’s what we’ll do:
throw it out

long live what’s mine
screw all of gertrude stein
throw
throw
throw
throw
throw it out!
