Back Porch

happy  with  no  teeth,  happy  here  in  hibernation

slurpin'  on  a  peach,  starin'  at  the  situation

kitty  at  my  foot,  meowin'  out  a  conversation

rockin'  back  'n'  forth,  that's  my  only  destination

old  man  on  the  back  porch,  old  man  on  the  back  porch

old  man  on  the  back  porch,  and  that  old  man  is  me

old  man  on  the  back  porch,  old  man  on  the  back  porch

old  man  on  the  back  porch,  and  that.....

meeeeeeeee-ow,  wow,  wow,  wow

got  a  two-string  on  my  lap,  total  subsonic  vacation

got  chicken  on  the  drums,  poundin'  out  a  perfect  prescription

got  twenty  little  worms,  all  plug  into  amplification

got  fifteen  hundred  bass  drum  luggin'  bug-eyed  monkeys

all  arriving  at  the  station

old  man  on  the  back  porch,  old  man  on  the  back  porch

old  man  on  the  back  porch,  and  that  old  man  is  me

old  man  on  the  back  porch,  old  man  on  the  back  porch

old  man  on  the  back  porch,  and  that.....

me  me  meeeee-ow  whoa,  whoa,  whoa

(chris  and  dave's  part  sung  at  the  same  time)

chris:

i'm  sittin'  on  the  back  porch,  kickin'  my  legs  back,  rockin  in  my  rockin'

chair,just  sittin'  there.  on  the  little  back  porch  it's  about  to  fall  apart

so  i  think  i  might  repair  it,  just  as  i'm  thinkin  about  repairin'  it

some  little  friends  come  along  with  some  two-string,  one  string

no  string  guitars  (hey  chris  wanna  jam?),  and  they  plug

them  all  into  the  back  porch,  and  they  sit  around  playing  all  their

favorite  songs  and  kickin  back,  feelin'  real  good,  real  fine,  real  full  of

the  wine

and  everything's  fine,  everything's  beautiful,  everything's  great

and  i  just  feel  so  good,  you  know  i'm  seventy  years  old  and

i'm  slurpin'  everything  through  a  straw

dave:

i'm  sittin'  here  on  the  back  porch  just  eatin'  chocolate  pudding  through  a

straw

and  i  heated  it  up  on  a  little  sterno  stove,  tastes  just  like  a  warm  body

fluid  goin'  down,  little  players  comin'  'round,  pluggin'  in  their

instruments,  feelin'  good

about  themselves,  singin'  original  songs,  by  the  original  masters

and  i'm  sittin'  there  on  the  porch,  rockin'  back  'n'  forth  in  my  little  old

chair

but  i'm  an  old  man  on  the  back  porch,  old  man  on  the  back  porch

old  man  on  the  back  porch,  and  that  old  man  is  me

old  man  on  the  back  porch,  old  man  on  the  back  porch

old  man  on  the  back  porch,  and  that.....
