Lavender lips on a full, sore mouth   "Where's the parade?" I asked his sleepy face   But my lazy little shadow stayed asleep in bed   Climbed another tree, an altogether different tree      And you stayed so close beside me   Purring like a pussy      I watched the muddy eddies swirl   I swing and swing and watch the water clean   If my wishes were whores then beggars would ride   With Billy bandy knees I watch the water clean      And he stayed so close beside me   Purring like a pussy      Hell's bells, I wouldn't leave you   My my, I wouldn't leave you behind   "When's the parade?" I asked his weepy face   "It's when we're walking side by side, my friend"      And you stayed so close beside me   Purring like a pussy
