lyrics

The ghost of Polly Adler sat on my marital bed
Teeth as black as coal and lustful eyes
What she whispered made my hair turn white
Then she flew off into that failing light
I swear the ghost of Polly Adler sat on my marital bed

The ghost of Sigmund Freud told me to find myself
Sing just a what I saw when I go drinkin’
So I sung him a tune I been a workin’ on lately
With a tear in his eye he confessed he couldn’t save me
I swear the ghost of Sigmund Freud left me weepin’

The ghost of Jackson Frank was in my room last night
He said son you gotta walk before you crawl
We shared a bottle of knob creek two bottles of wine
He said it’s all in the words son and never the rhyme
I couldn’t have written this tune without the ghost of Jackson Frank

The ghost of Billy Hogg was in my thoughts today
The cold hard truth of war was in his eyes
He said would you and the brothers mind playing a tune for me
Sing about whiskey, women and blasphemy/depravity
The ghost of Billy Hogg was in my thoughts today

The ghost of Errol Flynn sat in my easy chair
He said tights and facial hair is all you need
I said listen man the moustache ill do
But wearing tight pants I’m afraid is all you
I swear I saw the ghost of Errol Flynn sat in my easy chair

I said the ghost of Barry White ate all my Goddamn chicken wings
I mean I love the guy but there’s things you just don’t do
So we had words and it didn’t end well
I said listen Barry does this look like a hotel
The ghost of Barry white ate all my Goddamn wings
