3.When DD Gets Her Donkey, Everything Will Be Alright
I don’t know if you’ve noticed,
But lately it seems to me
Almost as if things are not running
Exactly how they ought to be.
It’s almost as if the falcon
Can hear the falconer just fine,
And the falconer’s telling the falcon
To leave most of us to die.
But before you start worrying,
Scratching at your skin all night,
Remember: When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright.
When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright,
When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright.
There’s other people who have noticed
Things are not quite right too.
These people, they’re doing
Almost everything that they can do.
Some people are hoping
For a real good revolution.
Other people, they’re just hoping
To die and go to Heaven.
Revolutionaries in Heaven
Eat at Schwartz’s, and fuck all night,
And when DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright.
When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright,
When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright.
The donkey will protect the chickens
From the predators of this land,
The polar bears shall all return
To shake the donkey’s hand.
The donkey will kick and bray
And the children will evolve
Into donkey-human creatures
Full of intelligence and love.
Humanity shall awaken
From its long, idiotic night,
Because when DD gets her donkey
Everything will be alright.
When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright,
When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright.
So get yourself a drink,
And go and dance with a cutie.
Luxuriate in the terror
Of the violin’s risky beauty.
And when it’s time to pass the hat
At the end of the night,
Remember: When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright.
When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright,
When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright.
The donkey
Is the fundamental key
To making
Everything
Turn
Out
Right.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed,
But lately it seems to me
Almost as if things are not running
Exactly how they ought to be.
It’s almost as if the falcon
Can hear the falconer just fine,
And the falconer’s telling the falcon
To leave most of us to die.
But before you start worrying,
Scratching at your skin all night,
Remember: When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright.
When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright,
When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright.
There’s other people who have noticed
Things are not quite right too.
These people, they’re doing
Almost everything that they can do.
Some people are hoping
For a real good revolution.
Other people, they’re just hoping
To die and go to Heaven.
Revolutionaries in Heaven
Eat at Schwartz’s, and fuck all night,
And when DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright.
When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright,
When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright.
The donkey will protect the chickens
From the predators of this land,
The polar bears shall all return
To shake the donkey’s hand.
The donkey will kick and bray
And the children will evolve
Into donkey-human creatures
Full of intelligence and love.
Humanity shall awaken
From its long, idiotic night,
Because when DD gets her donkey
Everything will be alright.
When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright,
When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright.
So get yourself a drink,
And go and dance with a cutie.
Luxuriate in the terror
Of the violin’s risky beauty.
And when it’s time to pass the hat
At the end of the night,
Remember: When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright.
When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright,
When DD gets her donkey,
Everything will be alright.
The donkey
Is the fundamental key
To making
Everything
Turn
Out
Right.
