Lyrics


Franny, just what do you think you are doing?
You've been crying all day and your lips have been moving,
I hope that you know what it is you're pursuing,
this prayer that you've got on your mind
Now you're upsetting poor Bessie and Less
And I understand you're a legitimate mess,
but I humbly persist that you give it a rest
This old prayer that you've got on your mind.
But Franny you're freaks you and I. Don't forget it!
Our two erudite older brothers saw to it.
Their ramblings: pedantic, prolix and prolific,
are still tramping about in our minds.

Francis, it's Buddy, your dear older brother
I've had twenty-some calls from our worried sick mother
confiding in me that there's something or other
confound this sister of mine.
But my dear, keep in mind that it takes a wise child,
neither fickle, nor one whose emotions run wild.
And please forgive Zachary his elegant style
of kicking a girl when she's down.
