• Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis (hey Charlie, i'm pregnant...)

hey Charley I'm pregnant
and living on 9-th street
right above a dirty bookstore
off Euclid Avenue
I stopped taking dope
and I quit drinking whiskey
my old man plays the trombone
and works out at the track.

he says that he loves me
even though it's not his baby
and he says that he'll raise him up
like he would his own son
he gave me a ring
that was worn by his mother
he takes me out dancing
every saturday night.

hey Charley, I think about you
every time I pass a filling station
on account of all the grease
you used to wear in your hair
I still have that record
of Little Anthony and the Imperials
but someone stole my record player
well, how do you like that?

hey Charley I almost went crazy
after Mario got busted
so I went back to Omaha to
live with my folks
but everyone I used to know
was either dead or in prison
so I came back in Minneapolis
this time I think I'm gonna stay.

hey Charley I think I'm happy
for the first time since my "accident"
I wish I had all the money
we used to spend on dope
I'd buy me a used car lot
and I wouldn't sell any of them
I'd just drive me a different car
every day depending on how
I feel.

hey Charley
for chrissakes
do you want to know
the truth of it?
I don't have a husband
he don't play the trombone
I need to borrow money
to pay this lawyer
and Charley, hey
I'll be eligible for parole
come Valentines Day.
