My Brother's Trapper Keeper Lyrics - Singles - Ookla The Mok

I got a call from a dear old friend 

He's the kind of friend you can depend on 

The kind of friend you can depend on til the end 

The kind of friend who'll say, "can you lend me 

A dollar or two or three or four 

In fact can you lend me just a little bit more 

Oh and I borrowed your car I didn't go far 

I left your car keys in the yard 

Oh and you're out of gas I was driving real fast 

How am I supposed to know who's yard? 

I remember there was grass oh if anybody asks 

I've been here for the last three days and nights 

Just say I never left your side 

Better dim the lights and hide 

And besides I told them I was you 

And it's true there's a few things I'd like you to do 

My friend Big Lou who arrives tonight from Peru 

He's just passing though 

Lou and five or six guys from his crew 

Will be staying for a day or two 

I'm praying that you'll make it through 

If I were you I'd buy lots of wine 

And oh yeah there's just one thing more 

One-Eyed Vinnie's back is sore 

He kind of took a slug in the spine 

So I hope you don't mind taking the floor 

For an indeterminant length of time" 

But after all he's my dear old friend 

And you know he can depend on me 

And when we die I won't stop to wonder why 

Just there I'll lie 

high on lame excuses and empty promises 

I can't justify it 

I can't just close my eyes and deny it 

I'd tell you the moral if I were able 

But this isn't some kind of Aesop's Fable 

It more like the story of Cain and Abel 

It just took a while to figure out which one I was
