Track 11 of Patrick Porter's ‘A Swan At Smiley’s’ LP
lyrics
AIN'T GOT NO FRIENDS
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter, C. 2007)
The whole room goes quiet
When I walk in
Everyone looks worried
They start whispering
My reputation precedes me
Like a canker sore
I look around for new bridges to burn
There ain't no more
I ain't got no friends
I sit alone on buses
I talk to myself
I walk back and forth to the liquor store
And no where else
When news is good
I got no one to tell it to
And when news is bad
(And is usually is!)
I sit alone and go 'boo hoo'
Because
I ain't got no friends
(Huh huh huh huh, Donkey Kong!)
