A sailor's stories
The miller's sordid tales
Scheherazade is going cheap
A poet's dreams
Of imaginary girls
Ragged thrillers falling in a heap
You'll find something to curl up with
Though dog-eared and slightly foxed
Lady, do I have a story that I could tell you
And every other word of it is true.
This one's in Flemish
With the long words underlined
All these maps, some kid has scribbled on
Erotica and romance
Stained and broken-spined
You'll never miss the pages that are gone
And the book don't end the way the film did
Dog-eared and slightly foxed
Lady, do I have a story that I could tell you
And every other word of it is true
Do I have a story
I guess that you do too
