Navy Nurse

From Blueberry Boat

[Let’s try it again]
I got warnings from jealous friends
Cases of borrowed clothes and a vial of Dramamine from my mother.
And she said, “Forget what Mom likes, ‘cause things have changed”;
Taught me how to make booze at home:
Call it "Old Uncle Zeke" and drink it early next week.

If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today
If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today
If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today

It’s nice to go nautical when choosing a doormat
Oh so nice to go nautical when choosing a doormat
I trust my navy nurse smile will put them on their feet again
I know my navy nurse smile will put them on their feet again
Save a glacier name for my daughter for when the snow turns red when the chain pulls away
Listen to them whisper:
[She’s alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved]

She’s alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved x11

So, on a warm winter night, on a worry-free winter night
(Still a woman who enjoys feminine props,
Like a filmy sky crowded with filmy white clouds)
In parrot green and lemon yellow, appeared champagne’s daughter

(Sitting in a blue-lacquered chair with wide gypsy stripes)

If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today
If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today
If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today

It seems no matter whether I weekend in Nice or Newark
I get no peace, "So you shirk the excursion and watch them remove from the hold
This year’s champion dwarf marigold?
This year’s champion dwarf marigold?
This year’s champion dwarf marigold?
This year’s champion dwarf marigold?"

But as there is no snake root anywhere on the vessel,
Or at any of the scheduled landings
And certainly no leopard flower--
At least he's a first-class gold brick

She’s alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved x12

Took the velvet-caped me (let me tell me tell you)
From the golden slope
Riding the golden gulf weave,
Part this Florida houseboat on the rocky coast that I can see
Sit side by side beside myself me
On a 90 inch sofa and a matching love seat,
Listen to them whisper:

If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s tonight
If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s tonight
If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s tonight
