about

My pal Ben Q. back in Ashland Oregon had to go to the same diversion classes outside of town in Phoenix. After he graduated from the program i wrote this song for him...silly and playful.

lyrics

" Im gonna tell you the story of a man/ A man's man/ Raised in the days before the forefathers/ Before their fathers and their Grandfathers/ All the way back to last Tuesday/ When this man was finally freed from the heavy security wing of the Phoenix State Mental Hospital down in Georgia/ Which was run by an evil warden by the name of Charlie...some people called him chuck but you had to be on his good side/ Yes, this is the story of ...Ben."

Ben was released from the state today and he was surely feeling free/ Stood at the gates and waved them goodbye/ "For ten years they've grown on me!"/ Hitched himself a ride to the nearest town/ about a half mile down the street/ Got himself a job at a fancy restaurant because he liked watching people eat
But there was something else there that caused him raucous/ Ben had gone and fallen in love with their state of the art mop bucket...

Ben Snuck her home almost everynight and swore he'd never ever leave/ They'd make sweet love under the moonlight and durty up those satin sheets/ But People got suspicious when the kid who did the dishes said he'd seen Ben sneak a peek/ And it was a surprise when i caught their eyes that Ben now sported a wedding ring...

Ben felt a little ashamed when his employers finally confronted/ Ben Stood up proud and straight and said...

"You know what? Fuck it! I'm in love with the Mop Bucket!"

"Now Ben and his beautiful bucket bride are living up in the state hospital once again/ From what I hear it's happily ever-after..."
