When my tongue and my teeth fall out, I'll play the piano
When my feet are just gangrenous lumps, I'll learn to waltz
When my body's in a trashcan,
Via a surgeon, via a tong,
When my tongue and my teeth fall out I'll play you a song
Had my rendezvous with Saint Teresa,
I said 'What is this, time two or three?'
Could you give it a rest?
She said, 'Buddy, calm down, just making my rounds'
And crept her way down the hall
When my tongue and my teeth fall out, I'll play you a song
They moved me up two floors to an institution,
I've been wearing madwomen's clothes for way too long
I can't hold a job, I can't marry,
My looks are all faded and gone
When my tongue and my teeth fall out, I'll play you a song.
