Rickie Lee Jones - Howard lyrics

(Hoo ba doo be, hoo ba doo be)
(Hoo ba doo be, hoo ba doo be)

The spirit's of her abortion had manifested -
The spirit's of all her
Abortions manifested themselves
Into the furniture in the room
There would be a chair waiting, smiling
The pictures on the wall
Watched her in disbelief
She'd go carry the garbage
Out to the sidewalks
Come back in and sit with all her children
Inanimate, petrified forever
(Hoo ba doo be, hoo ba doo be)
(Hoo ba doo be, hoo ba doo be)
(Hoo ba doo be, hoo ba doo be)
(Hoo ba doo be, hoo ba doo be)

A little boy named Howard
Everybody knows one of those guys in
Schools who kills everything he finds
Every little cat, every mouse, every dog
Likes to burn his sister with cigarettes

(Hoo ba doo be, hoo ba doo be)
You, you you you
(Hoo ba doo be, hoo ba doo be)

I had to go to my congressman the other day
Had to see my congressman about it, he said
He'd do his best, I don't doubt it, but

(Hoo ba doo be, hoo ba doo be)
(Hoo ba doo be, hoo ba doo be)
They talk about alcohol helps to
(Hoo ba doo be, hoo ba doo be)
(Hoo ba doo be, hoo ba doo be)

Diabolical schemes, David bolical schemes
Everything has been conspired
The doors wired
That's 'cause of those south Americans who
Tied him up in that chair, heh heh
He was doing that dope deal
He never got over that
They were probably gonna

(Hoo ba doo be, hoo ba doo be)
(Hoo ba doo be, hoo ba doo be)

You're just made of words, you're
Just made of words
You're just made of words
(Hoo ba doo be, hoo ba doo be)
You're just made of sounds, you're
Just made of sounds
You're just made of sounds (Ahh sTOP)
