Poland Whole/Madam I'm Adam - The Tubes

Coming out of lead guitar and drums

Rest of the band comes heavy

Said come on, baby, oh god, oh shit

Black and white, yeah, polish sausages

In a bun, in the sun, it’s hit and run

Hey man, like, like check this out

Man, really, I mean listen

I was counting the holes

In the acoustic tile ceiling, you know

Mumbling and fumbling

With them little buttons on my mattress

You know, that hold it together

So anyways my mind strays

And the tricks that my memory plays

Like fascination and abomination

On a biblical Broadway stage

Like dancers and singers

And a fully landscaped gospel group

And the harmony and whatever

And dinosaurs eating like veggie burgers

At the snack bar out front in the lobby, you know

So anyways on the same stage

Is me naked like an empty page

That’s when I heard him

Like a director’s voice with too much echo

I guess he was talking to yours truly

I mean me

Madam, that’s Adam

Ain’t no other woman, that’s had I’m

He’s stronger than a tree

That apple tree over there

Wealthy in his healthy way

Never works, he never plays

Sits around and cogitates

Right now, he’s planting his garden

Like I had to hear that chorus twice

You know before I finally got the picture

I screamed, «I ain’t Adam, I never seen the dude

And I ain’t no virgin either»

So anyways it’s really looking bad

Man, like that director’s mean when he gets mad

Like, might wreck your career

With just one nod and like cripple

You, you know, for life that’s a long time

My legs are shaking, my stomach’s knotted

My mind has gone neurotic, I’d run if I could

But you can’t hid from him

And besides that jerk took my shirt

And my trousers

So anyways in the depths of my despair

My co-star arrives, oh God, more beautiful than Cher

I screamed, «Make up, gimme the script

Please sing that chorus once more»

Madam, that’s Adam

Ain’t no other woman, that’s Adam

He’s stronger than a tree

And he’s freshly molded from clay

Wealthy in his healthy way

Never works, he never plays

Sits around and cogitates

He’s inventing the original sin now

Hey madam, that’s Adam

Poland whole, all people what’s cold
