Tulip Baker

Well I knew a girl called Tulip Baker
Went out on a date with an undertaker,
He took her out and he tried to make her
Show him where it's at

The undertaker's name was Max Detato,
He had a face like a baked potato,
He tried to take her without her say-so,
But Tulip was too hip for him.

She said gimme some time
I'm too young and too pretty
To cut me down in my prime
There's too much in the city

Now Tulip had a mother who was living in Cairo
Who runs around in a leaky bayou
Til she heard about old detato
And she [went to him]

That's when she heard the cry of Tulip
Old Max was looking for a girl with true lip
He tried to make her into his little Julep
But Tulip was too hip for him.

She said gimme some time
I'm too young and pretty
To cut me down in my prime
There's too much in the city

[Now the undertaker's still making his calls]
[Sometimes the pass, sometimes the doorways]
And though he is fast, you know there is no way
Tulip will let him get in

She lived in the country til 105
And just cause you're old doesn't mean you're alive
The undertaker said now it's time to die,
But Tulip was too hip for him.

She said gimme some time
I'm too young and pretty
To cut me down in my prime
There's too much in the city

She said gimme some time
I'm too young and pretty
To cut me down in my prime
There's too much in the city
