The Nursing Home Jig (feat. Laura Galindo)
I tuck my skin into my waistband
I can't find my apartment
I haven't seen my children
The nurse's name is Mildred
I know
Darling, I know
Well I talk a little backwards
But only 'cause my back hurts
I used to fight the Nazis
Now all I play is Yahtzee
I know
Darling, I know
You're not the man you were
I know
But I'll go first
Tell me a joke
But then he said, he said
Oh Miss would you please dance with me?
I know your teeth aren't very pretty
I'd like to come and dance with you
I know your hair on-top is thinning
Oh miss would you please touch my head
It's so cold ever since it all left
I'll touch your head, I'll touch your chest
And I won't make your heart a mess
We don't have long left
They don't have any tapioca
I wanna do the polka
Can't taste the Coca-Cola man
And I got no Apollonia
You're scared
Baby I'm scared
Well I don't know what her name is
She looks like someone famous
She says she is my true love
But I don't know what her name is
It's me
Darling, it's me
You've got to learn your place
I know
Next stop's the grave
I know, I know
But then he said, he said
Oh Miss would you please dance with me?
I know your teeth aren't very pretty
I'd like to come and dance with you
I know your hair on-top is thinning
Oh miss would you please touch my head
Been so long ever since it all left
I'll touch your head, I'll touch your chest
And I won't make your heart a mess
We don't have long left
Oh miss would you please touch my head
Been so long ever since it all left
I'll touch your head, I'll touch your chest
And I won't make your heart a mess
We don't have long left
They'd like to play us off the stage (They'd like to play us off the stage)
They won't remember us anyway (They won't remember us anyway)
I'm scared to death of what come next (I'm scared to death of what comes next)
Don't know if I'll see my love again
We don't have long left
I can't find my apartment
I haven't seen my children
The nurse's name is Mildred
I know
Darling, I know
Well I talk a little backwards
But only 'cause my back hurts
I used to fight the Nazis
Now all I play is Yahtzee
I know
Darling, I know
You're not the man you were
I know
But I'll go first
Tell me a joke
But then he said, he said
Oh Miss would you please dance with me?
I know your teeth aren't very pretty
I'd like to come and dance with you
I know your hair on-top is thinning
Oh miss would you please touch my head

I'll touch your head, I'll touch your chest

Don't know if I'll see my love again
We don't have long left
