Lyrics

Met her down North Carolina No chick could be finer, than Silky She had to get married quick In mama's red dress In a civil court house, in Georgia... In the western woods, North Carolina, In a house that was green Comes Silkman Gage, and her husband dale Who is somewhere in between the usual thing So Silky gage went to the smokehouse, To order french fried onion rings And dale, ran off, with some bar maid man And Silk came up to New York City To do the West Side thing Ah, for Silky is sad So sad She's sad, so sad now Sad so sad now Silky's baby was baptized on a Sunday Yeah, on a Sunday We took a walk to Central Park For the celebration I was sitting with Silk Sipping milk from a champagne glass On the grass in rain Yeah in the rain What a situation for the celebration Of a baptization It was Thursday morning Silky's baby was catching its nods I was on the telephone Talking about my job (my babysitting job) When buzz buzzed And I buzzed back I didn't know who buzz was But I buzzed back Well then he came up When he did I answered the door, I said hello, "what are you here for?" And then he buzzed, and I buzzed back I didn't know who buzz was But I buzzed back He wore a turquoise tie to match his eyes And a yellow ice cream jacket The minute he got a chance Said he was brought out at a dance And I didn't know who buzz was But buzz does... There's a party in 7D Where everybody's gonna wanna be Everybody's gonna come and see The Space Queens So bring along your finest drag And even if it's not your bag I'm sure you gonna wanna see The Space Queens Bruce and terryl and little danny All keep Silky and her baby They're all mothers And she's their brother And each is a fine, fine lady Silky said: I want someone straight this time You know, it's not too late To find someone straight I want a man A real butch guy A hunk
