Lyrics

TESSIE
(Eleni Kelakos)
Copyright 2003 Leg E Cat Music, ASCAP

Tessie's sour as a crabby apple,
Puckered face like a worn out plum,
Spits out oaths like a drunken sailor,
Guards her yard with a BB Gun.
Shoddy house with the shutters peeling,
Weedy yard with a shrunken tree,
Tessie yells to the cars that park there:
"Don't you try to park near me!

Go away, go to Hell!
I don't need you, can't you tell?"

Tessie sits while her fangs are soaking,
And she thinks of the life she'd had:
Barren, loveless and constipated,
And her friendships have all gone bad.
In the darkness she takes a tally
Of the friends that have let her down.
"Everybody is out to get me,
Everytime I turn around, so

Go away, go to Hell!
I don't need you, can't you tell?"
Shaking fists, blazing eyes
Ratty satin robe.
Tessie sprays the passersby
With a garden hose.

On the evening that death comes calling,
Tessie faces him gun in hand.
Fighting hard for the life she hated,
Tessie takes her final stand, yells:

"Go away, go to Hell!
I don't need you, can't you tell?"

Eleni Kelakos:  vocals, acoustic guitar
Jeff Turmes:  Bass Clarinet
