lyrics
Reverend:
If you are a man with a monkey or a daughter,
Better keep them off the land of a Mr. John Slaughter.
He's got one less boy than the man believes he oughter,
& something's gone and fouled all the well water.
Doodles:
I don't care what in the world anyone thinks of me.
I left my mother's morals on the dock (at midnight).
But when you hear the whispers, of your laced & satined sisters,
You'll show that there's much more to you than talk.
When this boy grew to become one of the customers,
We thought he'd grow to be another swell (like father),
But we knew with poor Miranda, cut & bruised on her veranda,
That we'd have to break & throw him in the well.
Well?
Spitshine:
When he said, "Old Mr. Shine, have you got work for me?"
I sent him off to Joe at Duffy's bar (on Clark street.)
(To get the) money for the numbers, which he subsequently plundered,
& said that he got rolled like a cigar.
Later Joe saw the boy climb, up to the whore's boudoir.
I'm not a man who really likes to dwell (what a nice guy),
(But if the) balance on the books, does not appease old Duffy's rooks,
Someone's gonna end up in the well.
Well!
Dr. Benjo:
I was home eating the fuck out of a cod souffle,
When Spitshine & the lady tugged the lock (which tumbled)
I listened to their story, filled with retributive glory,
& I told them I was shocked, I tell you, shocked!
I thought, "you dumb punks, gotta be kidding me!"
But then I thought, "well, really, what the hell?" (It's Tuesday.)
(I whacked the) pan I use for frying, on the bag when it was cryin',
(& we) dragged boy down to his daddy's well, boy, well, boy!
Reverend:
If you are a man with a monkey or a daughter,
Better keep them off the land of a Mr. John Slaughter.
He's got one less boy than the man believes he oughter,
& something's gone and fouled all the well water.

5 Cent Coffee is a 4 piece post modern jug band full of grit and carnival hokum. We play original songs set in the dusty
American tradition of travelling circuses and rail riders down on their luck. With soaring vocals, sometimes two accordions, sometimes two ukuleles, washboard and junk percussion, our sound is big and brash but soft and mournful, and always compelling....more
