Listen To Cricket in the Car
Cricket in the Car
Don’t want to drive very far, ‘cause there’s a cricket in the car
Better drop it off without delay at the Cricket Bar
Harriet Hooper says she’s had a few rounds with George Parr
No way I’m driving back today, ‘cause there’s a cricket in the car
I’ll ride my cycle, I’ll take the train
Tie on my tennis sneakers, have a run in the rain
Sorry, folks I hate to complain
But, by Jiminy, there he goes again
Traffic’s bad in Marylebone, it’s backed up in a crawl
A stowaway serenader is chirpin’ in my car
Osama insect hides in my Windstar
No way I’m driving back today ‘cause there’s a cricket in the car
(But I’ll play guitar)
I’ll park my crock, I’ll take the trolley
Get him a gig with Buddy Holly
I’ll set my bails up on the wicket
Young Christine Blair will chill that restless cricket
Like smelling a cheap cigar
Like crying babies on a plane
Like Manilow played in waiting rooms
Like an orchestra of banjos on parade
I’ll call a lizard to make a hit
One sticky tongue won’t hurt a bit
Devolved grasshopper waiting to go “splat”
Wanna take him to task with my cricket bat
Stridulatin’ Satan, stridulatin’ Satan, stridulatin’ Satan
‘Cause there’s a cricket in the car
Better drop it off without delay at the Cricket Bar
