lyrics

POOR CLAIRE

They say the old girl is about
Must be the day for steppin’ out
And the lady’s a flying high
Her legs go way up up to there
Way up to you know who knows where
Those delicious marbled thighs

But she don’t reach no happiness
Can’t ever reach her happiness
Poor Claire
Poor poor Claire

Those cheeks are blended just right
Her palate Rubens might have liked
Her finger dabs and never drags
A block of bloody golden glow
And skin of razors in the snow
She’s got an artist in her glass

But she don’t reach no happiness
Can’t ever reach her happiness
Poor Claire
Poor poor Claire

Tippy toe on needle heels
Her chemist knows just how she feels
And she gives him what he needs
He’s such a friendly young man
Her pharmacist who understands
The odyssey of these deeds

She still don’t reach no happiness
Can’t ever reach her happiness
Poor Claire
Poor poor Claire

Don’t you know poor Claire? Don’t you know her?
Don’t you know poor Claire? Don’t you know her?

Whoever knows that old girl, whoever knows poor Claire
Don’t you know poor Claire? Don’t you know her?

What’s this lady’s name? The lady with the hair
Don’t you know poor Claire? Don’t you know her?

And the legs right up? Up up to there
Don’t you know poor Claire? Don’t you know her?

Whoever knows that old girl, whoever knows poor Claire
Don’t you know poor Claire? Don’t you know her?

What’s this lady’s name? The lady with the hair
And the legs right up, up up up to there

Whoever knows that old girl, Whoever knows poor Claire
Don’t you know poor Claire? Don’t you know her?

Don’t you know poor Claire? Don’t you know her?
Don’t you know poor Claire? Don’t you know her?
