Tie Undone (aka Mr Henry) - Lyrics

Tie Undone (aka Mr Henry) (Waits 1981)
In the evening staggers home With his tie done He's as poor as a church mouse And whistling at the ? Tugging at his shirt tail Jiggling the church key Chewing on a toothpick On another binge Trampling a rosebush Whistling to himself (whistle) Now don't wake up the neighbours Spitting on a hinge And rattling the milkbottles Tripping on a skate Hiding from the paperboy Before it's too late The Screen doors open Don't make no noise in the Kitchen Got no excuse For a cold grey wife that starts bitching That the no good bum is at it again And after she's given him All the best years of her life You must be kidding He'll tell her he was celebrating Savage's divorce And he played a hunch out at Yonkers You can never trust a horse And thrown in jail An sworn he'd never do these things again He's got an alibi But never tells her where he's been

Tie Undone (aka Mr Henry)
(Waits 1981)

In the evening staggers home
With his tie done
He's as poor as a church mouse
And whistling at the ?
Tugging at his shirt tail
Jiggling the church key
Chewing on a toothpick
On another binge
Trampling a rosebush
Whistling to himself (whistle)
Now don't wake up the neighbours
Spitting on a hinge
And rattling the milkbottles
Tripping on a skate
Hiding from the paperboy
Before it's too late

The Screen doors open
Don't make no noise in the Kitchen
Got no excuse
For a cold grey wife that starts bitching
That the no good bum is at it again
And after she's given him
All the best years of her life
You must be kidding
He'll tell her he was celebrating
Savage's divorce
And he played a hunch out at Yonkers
You can never trust a horse
And thrown in jail
An sworn he'd never do these things again
He's got an alibi
But never tells her where he's been
