DOWN TO DEKALB (WAITS’ BARRETTES)
(Lyrics by Porter Copyright 2021)
I’m driving down to DeKalb!
Dragon face on a rag-a-zine mag
McMuffin early for a Big Mac
I’m driving down to DeKalb!
Front/back ear swab, “Matter o’ Fakk”
80,000 trillion dollars; 55 local trollops
Doin’ up a few hairs
Whack you off in the bath
Calculator math
These light bulbs break
(Lite bulbs break)
Order-in steak
I got a garden rake
I’m driving down to DeKalb
Wife won’t make dinner
She sits and thinks
Thinks about what
Thinks about what?
About being on TV
She’s writing a script
She’s driving down to DeKalb
Crank the fuckin’ breaks
Go home to town
You died full of cities around on your brain
Now you’re driving down to DeKalb
