I Work For Cuba Township

I read the words through a little window

"Cuba Township" & I walk right in

Everyone dozes in the bright noonday sun

I type out a tax form for Gary MacDougal

Folding the letter so the address shows through

I read the words through a little window

Stand up & stretch, go & get coffee

In the back of my mind is the word "marshmallow"

Everyone dozes in the bright noonday sun

My eyes are the eyes of a true sea-veal

This envelope will go air mail to Tokyo

I read the words through a little window

Matrons who cruise by give me the eye

Blond and Fu Manchu'd the postman enters

Everyone dozes in the bright noonday sun

Waking up suddenly I go out for a sandwich

The headlines say FLEE FIGHTING IN ANGOLA

I read the words through a little window

Everyone dozes in the bright noonday sun
