Bruno's Place - Loudon Wainwright III

Several stars plays guitars

And were backed with feeling by

A chopstick wielding rhythm section

Cyclotron Iris gone

With a dress she was lending

And your left thumb is bending northeast

Cooking fishes, making wishes

Try without thinking to

Stop all your blinking and anger

Bruno has a lovely place

It’s down on seventh street

Bruno has a lovely place

I go there when I eat

But I don’t eat meat

It’s bad for my feet

Yoga girls, Swanegie’s pearls

The boy with the earring

Has broken his steering wheel

Baptist John is holding on

Tora Lee’s leaving a son

She’s bereaving who’s nine

Ricky deals and Rufus squeals

And puppy dog Irving

Is honestly swerving my question

And Bruno has a lovely place

It’s down on seventh street

Bruno has a lovely place

I go there when I eat

But I don’t eat meat

It’s bad for my feet

Thomas sleeps and Rita weeps

Her buttons were busted

By the man the she trusted — he left her

Yes and Marta pleads while Roger kneads

The bread he’s baking

The girls he’s taking, he’s worried

Well I have no doubt I’ll get the gout

Though it’s rice that I’m eating

My intestines are cleaning

And Bruno has a lovely place

It’s down on seventh street

Bruno has a lovely place

I go there when I eat

But I don’t eat meat

It’s bad for my feet
