Cousin Dud's Pub Song

Oh, she moved to Chicago
from Kinsington Harbor
expecting magnificent miles
but she wound up in Pilsen
and got into pills and
she let herself go for a while
singing "Fuck, yeah hi-fiddly-dee,
I'm just tryin to put my mind at ease,
Fuck, yeah hi-fiddly-dee,"
and the fat man says hey do you wanna
come drip in the sauna with me
oh its long been a fad,
why, since I was a lad
that you move to the city to live
then you lease you a rental
and ya burn out yer twenties
until you hit thirties and kids
then you tie up the tubes
and go looking for schools
in a district with money to spend
and you say that you will
but you never do really
get back to the places ya been
then its fuck yeah hi-fiddly-dee
can't make the forest for my family tree
fuck yeah hi-fiddly-dee
and I ain't got no love song for this city
and this city got no love song for me.

by holiday music
