What Kind?
What kind of neighbor am I?
What kind of neighbor am I?
I'm screening your calls
through these rice paper walls
What kind of neighbor am I?
What kind of dancer am I?
What kind of dancer am I?
learned to waltz and to stroll
just to hump on a pole
What kind of dancer am I?
What kind of lover am I?
What kind of lover am I?
to corral and seduce
then say you're of no use
What kind of lover am I?
What kind of creature am I?
What kind of creature am I?
a unicorn parked at the door of the ark
What kind of creature am I?
What kind of scribbler am I?
What kind of scribbler am I?
giving birth to these critters
not by one, but in litters
What kind of scribbler am I?
What kind of writer am I?
What kind of writer am I?
making puns in a tongue
that's now spoken by none
What kind of writer am I?
