It's sung to the tune of "John Henry" and is about a mail carrier ... well, you can probably guess the rest. :) It went so fast when I heard it ... would love to know the lyrics. Also, is it on the CD retrospective? Thanks, Teresa |

I could never aspire to learning all those alternating randomized letters and numbers, though -- you're very brave to take that on! I have it on vinyl, but no way to play it to retrieve lyrics -- sorry. I did find a link to a CD rerelease of the original album for you, though: Thanks to the Following. Hope that helps. Claire |
