GI couldn't hear you for the D7TV I didn't know you said goodGbye
I saw your canceled check for the Cairfare didn't know flying got so D7high
GBeans for breakfast once D7again hard to eat 'em from the Gcan
I've run out of clean Cutensils  D7I'm a hungry nasty lonesome Gman
I heard the crows outside my D7window guess it's me they're talking Gabout
The fire you lit has burned to Ccinders every good thing's fizzled D7out
GBeans for breakfast once D7again hard to eat 'em from the Gcan
Wish you'd come back and wash the Cdishes  D7I'm a hungry nasty lonesome Gman
Caught a cold with the windows D7open crow droppings on my window Gsill
Probably got HistoplasCmosis got no gun or I would D7kill them crows
GBeans for breakfast once D7again hard to eat 'em from the Gcan
Plastic forks are a dime a Cdozen  D7I'm a hungry nasty lonesome Gman
Finally made it to the D7mailbox felt so bad I thought I'd Gdie
All I got was a bill from a Cdoctor well I guess flying ain't so D7high
GBeans for breakfast once D7again hard to eat 'em from the Gcan
Blue tick mattress cold and Cgreasy  D7I'm a hungry nasty lonesome Gman
The house burnt down from the D7fire that I built in your closet by Gmistake
After I took all them Cpills but I got out safe in my duck head D7overalls
GBeans for breakfast once D7again I'm a hungry nasty lonesome Gman
