Track 19 from the LP "Bachelor Pad Blue; Bent Pants & Stray Cats" by Patrick Porter (2009)
lyrics
NATIONAL SPINSTER
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c.2009)
The spinster
Sits at home
Reading books
While other girls
Go to bars
And pick up men
She wrote me
And told me to
Send her a card
She loves Jesus
Judas Iscari-o
Betrayed his friend
Oh nations
Move a world
Oh nations
Hang on my word
She's a spinster
On a Friday night
Reading Psalms
I'm a bachelor
In America
Getting drunk
There are people
That fit together
Like a cord and plug
I hope someday
That all of us
Find love
Oh nations
Move a world
Oh nations
Hang on my word
