about

Sometimes men will say they're an inch or so taller than they really are, and sometimes women will say they're an inch or so shorter than they really are. She claimed to be about a foot shorter, apparently.

lyrics

I went out for a spell, lookin' for my baby
She was nowhere to be found
So I went down to the lake
Just to make sure that she hadn't drowned

Everybody there was wearing weird gel in their hair
So I took a scoop and walked up to the mayor, and said

Have you seen, have you seen my baby
She is sweet and she is fine
She stands about ten feet tall
But insists it's much closer to nine
I don't really know, we never stood against a goal
In fact, we've never played basketball at all

He said, "Who are you? Who are you?"
I'm the man who's looking for his baby

Have you seen, have you seen my baby
She is sweet and she is fine
You would know her if you saw her
She's so very very kind
Have you seen, have you seen my baby
She's a girl you cannot miss

I'm the man who's looking for his baby
I'm the man who's looking for his baby
I'm the man who's looking for his baby

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.
