about

A Southerner (was it Lewis Grizzard?) once described the difference between being "naked" and being "nekkid" like this: being "naked" means you have no clothes on, while being "nekkid" means you have no clothes on and you're up to something. Apt, i suppose. This song is just a rollicking appreciation of my love, pseudo-hillbilly style. Also from the "2001: A Case of the Tea" CD.

lyrics

LYRICS

I've been to the north
And I've been to the south
I've been to the east and the west
I've been to the mountain
Reaching to the sky
I've even been nekkid in a vest

I've lived on a couch
And I've slept in some cars
I've sailed in a boat on the sea
I've puked stinkin' drunk
In the middle of a bar
I've prayed down on both of my knees

But I've never seen a girl
So gracious and good
Good gracious baby you're so good
There's never a doubt
As to what you're all about
Good gracious baby you're so good

I've swam in the mud
And I've ate at the ritz
I've stirred marguerites by a pool
I've held my head high
In the middle of a crowd
I've slumped in a chair like a fool

But I've never seen a girl
As gracious and good
Good gracious baby you're so good
There's never a doubt
As to what you're all about
Good gracious baby you're so good

about

The Marble Tea Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Drawing mandalas and watching Captain Kangaroo...that's pretty much what it's like in here. I enjoy writing songs about my cats and cartoon insects, but I'm also fond of feeling up the tentacles that lead to the oneness of existence. That's the Marble Tea experience.

Recommended for fans of Jonathan Richman, Robyn Hitchcock, Jazz Butcher, Magnetic Fields, etc.
