yellow things.

In the 60's and 70's seedy recording companies offered people the opportunity to have their poetry sung and recorded by a musician for a small cost. I Like Yellow Things was produced in the late 1970's and is a sweet little example of this type of American poetry song.

I got nipples on my titties,

big as the end of my thumb,

I got somethin' between my legs'll

make a dead man come,

Oh daddy, baby won't you shave 'em dry?

Now, draw it out!

Want you to grind me baby,

grind me until I cry.

Uh, huh.

Say I fucked all night,

and all the night before baby,

And I feel just like I wanna,

fuck some more,

Oh great God daddy,

Say you gonna get it.

You need it

Grind me honey and shave me dry,

And when you hear me holler baby,

want you to shave it dry.

I got nipples on my titties,

big as the end of my thumb,

Daddy you say that's the kind of 'em you want,

and you can make 'em come,

Oh, daddy shave me dry,

She ain't gonna work for it.

And I'll give you somethin' baby,

swear it'll make you cry.

I'm gon' turn back my mattress,

and let you oil my springs,

I want you to grind me daddy,

'til the bell do ring,

Oh daddy, want you to shave 'em dry,

Oh great God daddy, if you can't shave 'em

baby won't you try?

Now if fuckin' was the thing,

that would take me to heaven,

I'd be fuckin' in the studio,

till the clock strike eleven,

Oh daddy, daddy shave 'em dry,

I would fuck you baby,

honey I'd make you cry.

Now your nuts hang down

like a damn bell sapper,

And your dick stands up like a steeple,

Your goddam ass-hole

stands open like a church door,

And the crabs walks in like people.

Ow, shit!

Aah, sure enough, shave 'em dry?

Ooh! Baby, won't you shave 'em dry

A big sow gets fat from eatin' corn,

And a pig gets fat from suckin',

Reason you see this whore, fat like I am,

Great God, I got fat from fuckin'.

Eeeeh! Shave 'em dry

Aah, shake it, don't break it

My back is made of whalebone,

And my cock is made of brass,

And my fuckin' is made for workin' men's two dollars,

Great God, round to kiss my ass.

Oh! Whoo, daddy, shave 'em dry
