I had a friend that took a blet, took a blet and hung himself   Hung himself in the doorway of the apartment where he lived   His woman and his little bro came home from the grocery store   Only to find him dangling in the apartment where he lived      I had a friend who shaved his head   Put his Doctor Martins on   And drew such wondrous pictures in the apartment where he lived   He praised my creativity, though he spoke sarcastically   Oh, the conversations in the apartment where he lived      I had a friend that took a blet, took a belt and hung himself   Hung himself in the doorway of the apartment where he lived   Rock, she thought him spiteful; Ler, he thought him pitiful   Me, I've never been back to the apartment where he lived
