Michelle Shocked - Necktie lyrics

There was a naked man standing in an alley And he weren't wearing no clothes A naked man was standing in an alley And he weren't wearing no clothes He said, all I need I do believe Is a pair of black dress shoes (That's all a naked man really needs) There was a red light lady on the corner Look like the richest woman in the world A red light lady was standing on the corner Looking like the richest woman in the world She had a fine fur coat upon her back And a string of cultured pearls (Cultured pearls is the kind that sips tea and reads lots of poetry) There was a man found hanging in a jail cell And they said it was suicide A man was found hanging in a jail cell And they told me it was suicide Now you can blame the social system But I still say it was his necktie Necktie Now when I die won't you bury me In a pair of black dress shoes Put a fine fur coat upon my back Put a string of cultured pearls too St Peter will be so proud to have a woman like me Come and see him when I die And you know that they won't keep me out of them Pearly Gates 'Cause I'll be sure to wear my necktie
