1
I pounded on a farmhouse
2
Lookin' for a place to stay
3
I was mighty, mighty tired
4
I had come a long, long way
5
I said, "Hey, hey, in there
6
Is there anybody home?"
7
I was standin' on the steps
8
Feelin' most alone
9
Well, out comes a farmer
10
He must have thought that I was nuts
11
He immediately looked at me
12
And stuck a gun into my guts
13
I fell down
14
To my bended knees
15
Saying, "I dig farmers
16
Don't shoot me, please"
17
He cocked his rifle
18
And began to shout
19
"You're that travelin' salesman
20
That I have heard about"
21
I said, "No, no, no
22
I'm a doctor and it's true
23
I'm a clean cut kid
24
And I've been to college, too"
25
Then in comes his daughter
26
Whose name was Rita
27
She looked like she stepped out of
28
La dolce vita
29
I immediately tried to cool it
30
With her dad
31
And told him what a
32
Nice, pretty farm he had
33
He said, "What do doctors
34
Know about farms, pray tell?"
35
I said, "I was born
36
At the bottom of a wishing well"
37
Well, by the dirt neath my nails
38
I guess he knew I wouldn't lie
39
He said, "I guess you're tired"
40
He said it kinda sly
41
I said, "Yes, ten thousand miles
42
Today I drove"
43
He said, "I got a bed for you
44
Underneath the stove
45
Just one condition
46
You can go to sleep right now
47
That you don't touch my daughter
48
And in the morning, milk the cows"
49
I was sleepin' like a rat
50
When I heard something jerkin'
51
There stood Rita
52
Lookin' just like Tony Perkins
53
She said, "Would you like to take a shower?
54
I'll show you up to the door"
55
I said, "Oh, no, no
56
I've been through this movie before"
57
I knew I had to split
58
But I did not know how
59
When she said
60
"Would you like to take that shower, now?"
61
Well, I couldn't leave
62
Unless the old man chased me out
63
'Cause I'd already promised
64
That I'd milk his cows
65
I had to say something
66
To strike him very weird
67
So, I yelled out
68
"I like Fidel Castro and his beard"
69
Rita looked offended
70
But she got out of the way
71
As he came charging down the stairs
72
Sayin', "What's that I heard you say?"
73
I said, "I like Fidel Castro
74
I think you heard me right"
75
And I ducked as he swung
76
At me with all his might
77
Rita mumbled something
78
'Bout her mother on the hill
79
As his fist hit the icebox
80
He said, he's going to kill me
81
If I don't get out the door
82
In two seconds flat
83
"You unpatriotic, rotten doctor, commie rat"
84
Well, he threw a Readers Digest
85
At my head and I did run
86
I did a somersault
87
As I seen him get his gun
88
And crashed through the window
89
At a hundred miles an hour
90
And landed fully blast
91
In his garden flowers
92
Rita said, "Come back"
93
And he started to load
94
The sun was comin' up
95
And I was runnin' down the road
96
Well, I don't figure, I'll be back
97
There for a spell
98
Even though Rita moved away
99
And got a job at a motel
100
He still waits for me
101
Constant, on the sly
102
He wants to turn me in
103
To the FBI
104
Me, I romp and stomp things
105
Thankful as I romp
106
Without freedom of speech
107
I might be in the swamp
