E..........................................................................................
Francisco VonCairo Berocious Beracious Bacause -

.........................................................................................................................B...........
Was a guy who knew more about what was not would than what was -

A..............................................E...
Mostly he slunk around home -

B..............................................E
Sometimes he?d let it alone -

A.................................................B...................................E......
Sometimes he slunk around down at the corner salon -

B........E........B

-
Now the corner saloon was a shack in a rik-marak town -
He walked until he was at front then he threw himself down -
The town was afraid of the dark -
And down at the corner park -
Our boy had the seat of his pants by the school of the yard -
-
Now Francisco VonCairo Berocious Beracious Bacause -
Was the fifth of five kids -
All Berocious Beracious Bacause -
One got dropped from a plane -
Two got run over by a train -
The fourth was Carmel SanCarlo Berocious Beracious Bacause -
-
She said ?honey you know pretty soon well like its gonna seem -
You and me oughta once pick up and take some kind of extreme -
It?s good to do it with someone -
Sometime do it with me -
If the first time don?t make it the second might could just be better? -
-
One night Carmel SanCarlo Berocious Beracious Bacause -
Checked out her e-mails two or three times just because -
One was from Tajikistan -
Some guy selling raspberry jam -
And some web cam girls sticking dynamite inside themselves in Japan -
-
Well Francisco VonCairo Berocious Beracious Bacause -
Loved Carmel SanCarlo Berocious Beracious Bacause -
She ran and turned her machine on -
She heard something out on the lawn -
And here is the message -
The note that came up on the screen -

-
If I could travel all around the universe -
And I would go from galaxy to galaxy -
And I would visit every planet -
And on every planet I would have one girl -
And I would take her out where I am whenever I was flying by that planet -
You would be my Earth girl -
You would be my Earth girl -
You would be my Earth girl -
You would be my Earth girl -
-
Now Christian Ikeba SanCarlo VonCairo Berocious Beracious Bacause -
Came to town one Saturday night -
One Januray 12th -
He found in the dust -
In the red dust you?ll find -
If you travel south east of ????Sacaro??? -
He found Carlita Beracious Bacause -
Making sauce out of ????? -
He walked up to her and he sat on the ground -
He gave her sugary sweets he had found -
And he sang what he said and he said what he sang -
He took off his shirt and he flung it around -
He said you are my Earth girl -
You are my Earth girl -
You are my Earth girl -
You are my Earth girl
