Every morning at the dawn dust is in the air Karen rises early, runs brushes through her hair Then she buys the paper, I lay on my back Then she feeds the monkey, then she feeds the cat
I'll talk, I'll talk they live by the sea Surrounded by a cemetery If you get tired come up for some tea With Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and me Frances is the next to rise Powders up her nose She's working for the tailor
