Kentucky Avenue - Mandy Patinkin

Eddie Grace’s Buick got four bullet holes in the side

Charlie DeLisle is sittin' at the top of an avocado tree

Mrs. Storm will stab you with a steak knife

If you step on her lawn

I got a half a pack of Lucky Strikes, man

Come along with me

Let’s fill our pockets

With macadamia nuts

Go over to Bobby Goodmans’s

Jump off the roof

Hilda plays strip poker

With the Mummers 'cross the street

Joey Navinski says she put her tongue in his mouth

Dicky Faulkner’s got a switchblade

Some gooseneck risers

That eucalyptus is a hunchback

There’s a wind down from the south

So let me tie you up with kite string

Show you the scabs on my knee

Watch out for the broken glass, put your shoes and socks on

Come along with me

Let’s follow that fire truck

I think your house is burnin' down

Go down to the hobo jungle

Kill some rattlesnakes with a trowel

And we’ll break all the windows

In the old Anderson place

We’ll steal a bunch of boysenberries

Smear 'em all on your face

I’ll get a dollar from my mama’s purse

Buy that skull and crossbones ring

You can wear it 'round your neck

On an old piece of string

Then we’ll spit on Ronnie Arnold

Flip him the bird

Slash the tires on the school bus

Now don’t say a word

I’ll take a rusty nail

Scratch your initials in my arm

Show you how to sneak up on the roof

Of the drugstore

I’ll take the spokes from your wheelchair

And a magpie’s wings

And I’ll tie 'em to your shoulders and your feet

I’ll steal a hacksaw from my dad

Cut the braces off your legs

And we’ll bury 'em tonight out in the cornfield

Just put a church key in your pocket

We’ll hop that freight train in the hall

Slide all the way down the drain

To New Orleans in the fall
