'93: Me and Fred and Dave and Ted - The Magnetic Fields

Me and Fred and Dave and Ted

And the dog and the cat and the bugs

All in two rooms with one bed

So we slept on the towels and rugs

But ah!

We were young and vaguely in love

And who needed money or drugs?

Not me and Fred and Dave and Ted

And the dog and the cat and the bugs

Fred was only twenty-two

So everything he said was true

Sweet as a clumsy puppy dog

But expletive!

Could that boy snog

Me and Fred and Dave and Ted

And the dog and the cat and the bugs

All in two rooms with one bed

So we slept on the towels and rugs

But ah!

We were young and vaguely in love

And who needed money or drugs?

Not me and Fred and Dave and Ted

And the dog and the cat and the bugs

Dave offered me the presidency

Of the Log Cabin of New Jersey

I’m not sure who he thought I was

But I smiled and nodded because

Me and Fred and Dave and Ted

And the dog and the cat and the bugs

All in two rooms with one bed

So we slept on the towels and rugs

But ah!

We were young and vaguely in love

And who needed money or drugs?

Not me and Fred and Dave and Ted

And the dog and the cat and the bugs

Ted the All-American male

Had recently got out of jail

For asking money of someone

A John while flourishing a gun

Me and Fred and Dave and Ted

And the dog and the cat and the bugs

All in two rooms with one bed

So we slept on the towels and rugs

But ah!

We were young and vaguely in love

And who needed money or drugs?

Not me and Fred and Dave and Ted

And the dog and the cat and the bugs
