My Babys angry, hes always so angry
He smiles only when he can give me abuse
Whats the use? Whats the use?
The church bells are busted again
And at cakewalk class Im out of sync
I peek at granddads watch and take a drink
Linen being pawned on eclipse
Pack the swatches in the pony-cart
Before the gate he squints ands ready to start
My babys angry, hes always so angry
At best he ignores me and dont curse and stare
Despair, oh despair!
He gets pink roses sent by
The other woman now lives upstairs
You think she thinks he really cares?
I go and retire by nine
Hes in the Kansas City cabinet today
Pretend Im asleep and I hear him say
"The old hag is sleeping! Now old hag, stay sleeping
If you never wake up, its heaven as it were
Widower! Widower!"
My Babys angry, hes always so angry
He smiles only when he can give me abuse
Whats the use? Whats the use?
