Homemade Jam

White city home made jamtambourine dreamers

high heeled pumps sneakers cream make

streakers catching my eye, catch my fly

devil tries to get high/captain eye eye captain

topsy turvy girlie curvy

whistling pigs coz this pig flies

dogs spit bones as car hiss mary

mary serves tea on a tea cozy prairie

mary serves tea on a teacup cherry

mary hiccups on a teacup sherry

thunderbird daringly to white city
