 She swings 
A string 
Of pearls on the corner 
The streelight reflects 
The light on the water 
The string, it snaps 
And the pearls go sailing 
And they splash 
And bounce 
And roll cross the wet street 
As she bends to chase the pearls 
A car swings round the corner 
She darts from the eyes 
Of the panic struck driver 
Who's racing to 
The delivery room 
'cause in the backseet his wife 
Is busting out of her womb 
The sack breaks and out come the siamese twins 
Who grow up to become 
The first president with two heads 
Are better than one 
He puts his heads in his hands, 
Says I gotta put my heads together 
I can become the best president ever 
And not just president 
Fend for yourself 
Signs his name takes the blame 
For all of the names with no shame 
In their belief they adjourn 
And the leave 
And in walks a man 
With a broom, and a knife 
And blood on his hands 
And he sweeps everything 
Under the rug 
And goes home 
To his kids, gives them a hug 
But his wife was not there, she had just left a letter 
That said you'll be much 
Better off without me 
Now his wife took the train 
To her ex-lovers funeral 
Who died in the bathroom, 
Hit his head on a urinal 
When they got together, the knowledge was carnal 
And the widow was at the funeral, and they had quite a catfight 
And they fell into the grave where the casket was resting 
And the preacher just left in the middle of the service 
'cause death was one thing, 
But women made him nervous 
And he got into his car, 
And he drove round the corner 
Then something in the street 
Caught the light in his eye 
He pulled over, reached down 
And picked up the pearl from the gutter 
He didn't know what to think 
He brought it home and washed it in the sink 
And he gave the pearl 
To sister mary theresa 
Who could not accept it, 
So she gave it to lisa 
A young prostitute who was missing a pearl 
On the necklace that broke 
Late last night
