Loudon Wainwright III - Hospital Lady Lyrics
The braid is held in with a bobby pinShe's a woman, she wears a pink hatThe rouge on the faceIhe baubles, the laceOnce a young girlPlease don't forget thatThe pretty red topHas just about stoppedIt wobbles, it don't spin anymoreReach for the skyAgainst gravity tryStay away from the cold wooden floor.There was a time not so long agoShe was dancing with her favorite beauWho died in 1953.Consider her chartThere is dust on the heartA thorn bush grows inside the spleenClouds on the eyes hide Al Jolson blue skiesThe lungs have turned bright Kelly greenOld lady blues wears old lady shoesHer new lover is old daddy death
