Just had a listen to the record, is it that what you mean?
MILKMAN (John Bryant)
Well I got home just yesterday
Found this note pinned to my bed
It said I've spent your money, friend
And I've smoked all your cigarettes
Now when I knocked
your door was answered by pretty eyes of blue
And I must admit I liked the look of it
So I took your woman too
I thank you friend, this letter said
And I got to complement your taste
I found your Rye and I drank it dry
It was too damned good to waste
Now when I knocked I said
good morning like milkmen always do
And a voice replied Honey come inside
So I tried your woman too
Well I'm going to shoot me a milkman
With his voice as smooth as silk
I'm going to shoot me a milkman
Took my woman and forgot my milk
Now I don't mind if he keeps my wine
And my woman don't come back
But I'll shoot that bum if my milk don't come
I could never take my coffee black
Well I'm going to shoot me a milkman
With his voice as smooth as silk
I'm going to shoot me a milkman
Took my woman and forgot my milk
