Sad Sac & Tarzan - Daniel Johnston

Sad Sac and Tarzan

Walking up at the mall

Up walked a girlfriend

Said, «You had the gall to bring my name up again»

Looking for salvation

We had an ice cream soda

I said, «Have you ever wondered what became of Uncle Bill?»

We was peeling potatoes

Back in World War II

And we was playing that rock and roll

After school for you-know-who

Hidden from the public

It was behind the scenes

There was a relic

They called the purple hare

I was eating a taco

I looked across the room

I saw a girl in a red dress

She said she’d like to do me in

I left the waiter a tip

I scrambled for the door

Said, «You might have loved me, but now there’s nothing more»

She’s always on my trail

She really likes to kill

I keep her lovely picture on my window sill

I was just a cowboy without a show

I was like the kind of guy you never really know

You won’t forget me

No matter how hard you try

And when it’s my time to go

I’ll wave goodbye

Sing yourself a melody

Cry a tear of joy
