"Little Joe never once gave it away..."
"Candy came from out on the island..."
"Holly came from Miami, F-L-A..."

Also, "Sugar Plum Fairy" is Joe Campbell and "Jackie" is Jackie Curtis.

This thread is making me feel... funny.

Pajama Slave Dancers's "Homo Truck Drivin' Man"...

Julie Walker

ok, someone posted later that the finale of the song is ambiguous according to Davies. However, is the above the correct lyrics to the end of the song? Since I've always heard it as "...But I know what I am, in bed i'm a man...and so is lola". Yet no website i've looked up currently has anything close to those lyrics.

I just looked up the song, and rewound that portion a couple times to listen closely and make sure i'm not mishearing the lyrics. But it certainly still sounds like how i've always heard the lyrics.

No! Really?

People frequently play a song about a stalker at wedding receptions?

Stalkers are romantic. Haven't you ever watched a romantic comedy?

I've always heard it the way you have, except in my I head I punctuate it like this:

"I know what I am in the bed: I'm a man. And so is Lola."

Good to know. I was so confused when I saw the wrong lyrics posted. Since I never heard the 'i'm glad i'm a man' lyric for the finale. I don't think it's that hard to decipher what is said at the end either, which really makes the 'i'm glad i'm a man' line people are posting so confusing.

I can understand how people thought in Purple Haze, the lyric went "scuse me while i'll kiss this guy" when it's really "kiss the sky". The end of Lola always was pretty clear cut for myself when I first heard the song, and all these years later.
