Mr. Smith

Stan Ridgeway · Other Songs - Stan Ridgeway

Can I get a light from you, Mr. Smith?

And do you know where the party is?

I've been walking a blue streak all night long

And I'm tired of looking for a place to piss



Can you tell me about yourself, Mr. Smith?

Yeah, me, you can read like an open book

I don't hide myself like some other people do

When there's gristle in the meat, I just swallow and chew



Chorus:

Pleased to meet you, Mr. Smith,

(And) do you know where the party is?

Pleased to meet you, Mr. Smith,

(And) do you know where the party is?



Cast your eyes around, Mr. Smith

Do you see that dog lying in the road?

Coughin' up stuff from a pigeon that died

Hit an eighteen wheeler on the 405



Chorus repeat



Do you know this neighborhood, Mr. Smith?

Used to be someplace, sometime, somewhere

People built it up from the dirt and dust,

Loanin' out money from an Eastern trust



Chorus repeat x2
