The Lennings — Roanoke lyrics

Lyrics

My old main eloped.
He fell in love with a window girl.
She was one of those
people posed like mannequin.
When everybody knows
you can make a face and drop your clothes, but never make them laugh.
I asked my dad, what fun is that. He said,
«She's only human for me.»
My own antelope
wandered out from Roanoke, a west Virginia town
with tone deaf birds and the water’s brown.
So he came in search of food and donned his old west attitude,
and tried to hold me up.
I took him in and served him up some
galactic gazpacho.
I loan cantaloupes to needy friends and strangers when they ask me
for a dime 'cause melon goes so
well with wine. So please enjoy a slice.
And take your time, enjoy it twice.
And stop on by again
and sit a spell with you new friends.
