I Hope I Don't Fall in Love with You

Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis

Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis

Hey Charlie, I´m pregnant and living on the 9th street

Right above a dirty bookstore off Euclid Avenue

 And I stopped takin´ dope and I quit drinkin´ whiskey

And my old man plays the trombone works out at the track

 He says that he loves me, though it´s not his baby

 He says that he´ll raise him up like he would his own son

He gave me a ring that was worn by his mother

 He takes me out dancin´ every Saturday night

 Hey Charlie, I think about you every time I pass a fillin´ station

Account of all the grease you used to wear in your hair

Still have that record, little Anthony and The Imperials

Someone stole my record player now how do you like that?

 Hey Charlie, I almost went crazy after Mario got busted

I went back to Omaha to live with my folks

Everyone I used to know was either dead or in prison

 So came back to Minneapolis this time I think I´m gonna stay

 Hey Charlie, I think I´m happy for the first time since my accident

I wish I had all the money that we used to spend on dope

 Buy me a used car lot wouldn´t sell any of ´em

 I´d just drive a different car every day, dependin´ on how I feel

 Hey Charlie, for Chris sakes if you want to know the truth of it?

 I don´t have a husband he don´t play the trombone

And I need to borrow money to pay this lawyer

 And Charlie, hey I´ll be eligible for parole come Valentines day

I don´t wanna grow up

I Don't Wanna Grow Up

(T. Waits/K. Brennan)

When I'm lyin' in my bed at night

I don't wanna grow up

Nothin' ever seems to turn out right

I don't wanna grow u

How do you move in a world of fog

That's always changing things

Makes me wish that I could be a dog

When I see the price that you pay

I don't wanna grow up

I don't ever wanna be that way

I don't wanna grow up

Seems like folks turn into things

That they'd never want

The only thing to live for

Is today

I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set

I don't wanna grow up

Open up the medicine chest

And I don't wanna grow up

I don't wnna have to shout it out

I don't want my hair to fall out

I don't wanna be filled with doubt

I don't wanna be a good boy scout

I don't wanna have to learn to count

I don't wanna have the biggest amount

I don't wanna grow up

Well when I see my parents fight

I don't wanna grow up

They all go out and drinking all night

And I don't wanna grow up

I'd rather stay here in my room

Nothin' out there but sad and gloom

I don't wanna live in a big old Tomb

On Grand Street

When I see the 5 o'clock news

I don't wanna grow up

Comb their hair and shine their shoes

I don't wanna grow up

Stay around in my old hometown

I don't wanna put no money down

I don't wanna get me a big old loan

Work them fingers to the bone

I don't wanna float a broom

Fall in and get married then boom

How the hell did I get here so soon

I don't wanna grow up
