Mammocks of Matilda

Mammocks of Matilda
Mammocks of Matilda
in the sand

Misbeliever and Mr.Clean
skippin' class in '69
on the receiver it's Jan & Dean
civililization in decline

Let's go to the ocean
waste the day on the beach
Let's go to the ocean
cause every star's within reach

Mammocks of Matilda
Mammocks of Matilda
in the sand

The mumbo jumbo poetic hokum
gone the distance on the brink
words so often they go unspoken
We've all had too much to think
(too much to think)

Let's go to the ocean
waste the day on the beach
Let's go to the ocean
cause every star's within reach

But Matilda, she isn't waltzing
you could say that she's moved on
But Matilda, she isn't walking
Matilda's dead and gone

Mammocks of Matilda
fragments in the sand
Mammocks of Matilda
Matilda's close at hand

Misbeliever, she got all swampy
Mr. Clean was getting baked
Off to the dunes they ventured promptly
Bouncy bouncy boom boom flapjack hot cakes

The king was in the kitchen
eating bread and honey
The queen was churning butter
50 ways to Monday

The sun was high up in the August sky
when we all sang "Amazing Grace"
we spread her ashes near the ocean
Matilda's final resting place

Down the shore
in New Jersey
where lobsters and mobsters meet
pile driving in the sand dunes
organ grinders in the heat

the hokey pokey polka dancers
they try to get it while they can
it's a dance-off with the pants-off
sloppy slip slidin' again

There will be no quarter given
not from nyphomaniacs
Somewhere there in New Jersey
Matilda slips through the cracks
