A giant wave of fear came and washed my baby away That was the end of my world so I called it doomsday I spent all my money and I wore a hole in my shoe The music that I listen to most people think is uncool I saw disaster on the telly but that wasn't headline news Some other foolish bullshit, that was the headline news I'm older than I look and I have no marketable skills The modern world is killing me, tell my friends the modern world kills

Your friends are having a party tonight, they're probably gonna be drinking You might find yourself the object of ridicule if you forget the vermouth You've got to add a certain ingredient, you've got to add vermouth You add vermouth The greatest minds of that famous generation have now grown long in the tooth You've got to make it the way the man wrote it, we can't get loose with the truth We've got to add a certain ingredient, we've got to add vermouth We add vermouth Martini Gibson Rob Roy Negroni Manhattan Perfect Manhattan You Gotta Add Vermouth

Thru the new green grass on his belly is the blacksnake All the berries on the trees get swallowed by the birds They always look so happy all the creatures seem to love it here But it makes me want to dig a hole that leads away And I'm gonna dig a hole straight thru to China It's really hook or crook in the belly of the blacksnake but I'd rather dig a hole when you're climbing up the walls In the distance there's a rise then a land I've never seen before And I'm poised atop a pole with a coaxer in my hand And I'm gonna dig a hole straight thru to China I know it's far from here to dig so long I think the Chinese scene would be a bit better I wish someone would tell me why it isn't getting deeper I think black john might be filling it in He must be filling it in
