Father's by the door. No more jukebox hands or swollen feet. No more fun. The house is drained. I put on my bravest shirt and get some blueing for these eyes. I know this face is money, but the skinny boys won't buy. Father's by the door. Father's by the door. Forget that saxophone in the subway; that glove, slipped off, which smelled. Stop those river of hips: they'll be greeted with a sneer, and fasten your brassiere Before your breasts become too cold. The day reclines and falls asleep, 'cause father's by the door. Father's by the door. Father's by the door.
