Lyrics
Once when I was in the city
The concierge in the Hotel told me
That on Thursday Nights the Art Museum was free.
So I Pulled on my boots and put on my hat
Had the fellow call me a Taxi
and went down there to see what I could see.
Metal and wires hanging from the ceiling
Various shapes spinning and reeling
And a woman in a Suit explaining what it meant.
When it came time for the Q&A Session
she asked if there were any questions
I raised my hand and said something like this :
Did Alexander Calder have a mobile home
Was he mentally stabile, did he like to roam
Was he anti-social, did he hang around ?
Could he keep a steady job or was he fired
Was he kind of mellow, was he really wired
Did Alexander Calder have a mobile Home ?
Well, all those city folks gave me a look
Like I never even thought of reading a book
Especially some bald guy wearing a turtleneck Sweater
He walked right up, got in my face
I said to him" Now looky here Ace,
You'll back off if you know what's good for you ".
Near a pointillist painting he poked me in the eye
I never even bothered to ask him why
After that unfriendly Gesture the fight was on.
We tumbled into a Pablo Picasso
His nose on my ear my eye on his elbow
He bounced off a Sunflower and bit off a piece of my ear
We rolled into the surrealism gallery
Fishy lightbulb mustache lingerie
About that time the police had arrived
Did Alexander Calder Have a mobile home
Was he mentally Stabile did he like to roam
Was he anti-social, Did he hang around ?
Could he keep a steady job or was he fired
Was he kind of mellow, was he really wired.
Did Alexander Calder Have a Mobile Home?
Well if you're ever in the city
and visit the museum on a Thursday
It's best to keep your opinions to yourself
Those Art Types take themselves seriously
If you speak you'll probably wind up like me
And spend your weekend sitting in a cell
Did Alexander Calder have a mobile home
Was he mentally stabile, did he like to roam
Was he anti-social, Did he hang around ?
Could he keep a steady job or was he fired
Was he kind of mellow, was he really wired
Did Alexander Calder Have
a mobile home ?
