"The Broken Lip" Improvisation during the Frankfurt concert of April 6th, 1972 |
|
I never had a broken lip myself But I'm willing to try it out So why don't you come right up here And punch me in the mouth I ain't got no broken lip, babe And you can see my mouth is perfectly whole There isn't even a trace of a cold sore Let alone a broken lip Come to think of it, I did have a broken lip But that was a long time ago When I was a lot younger and a lot thinner And a lot more ambitious And a lot more reverent A lot more reverent A whole lot more reverent I think it was my sister Who really had the broken lip I remember her lip, not only was it broken You could say it was entirely mutilated She had a handicap Oh little sister, you got no mouth at all Oh little sister, you got no mouth at all Do you find it hard to drink water? Do you find it hard to drink wine? You know I get down on my knees and I pray for you Little lipless sister of mine. Oh it wasn't my sister No I think it was my best friend That's why I liked him He was very little competition In those adolescent kissing games |
