An' he'd throw all the tickets on the counter and say
"Check the bags and fly!"
"Well, mean, this is too much weight?
"We only got forty-six a' freight!
"And if it don't go, gonna explain it to our fan club in Tacoma?"

We'd all get an' head for the plane
Milton stood there, bein' profane
But somehow he always managed ta get on board ...in of a coma

When the drinks served up yonder...

Well, we deplaned at th' end
All the trouble seemed to commence
Milton had ordered three station wagons, a pickup truck and a limo
And though he'd ahead to that Number Two
Cussin' an' an' turnin' blue
We'd always end up with two Datsoons and a

William Morris, us working...

Now, was a real good friend a' mine
An' we'd stuck together on down that
But there was one or two points over which we had to dee-bate
Like
Is not necessarily an assurance that the crowd ain't gonna throwin' tomatas
An' when ya arrive at four for a five show
An' the ain't built an' there's no electricity

However, you give ol' four strong bodies, a nine-foot grand, a beer and a cigarette
An' you knew that show was gonna be ...outta state

Now one up there in Washington
We didn't get paid for a we'd done
An' ol' Milton couldn't live with that; his brain just shorted out.

Over the rainbow, lookin' for
Yeah, he's up there where the lights is always on
But we can't forget curly hair
When last we saw him a-settin'
Holdin' his tambourine, suckin' his thumb, an' sound asleep on the
