Phil Ochs — Pretty Smart on My Part

[Verse 1] I can see him a-coming He's a-walking down the highway With his big boots on And his big thumb out He wants to get me He wants to hurt me He wants bring me down Ah, but sometime later When I'm feel a little straighter I will come across a stranger Who'll remind me of the danger And then I'll run him over [Chorus] Pretty smart on my part Find my way in the dark [Verse 2] I can see her coming And she sure looks pretty And her breasts are bold And her mouth is large She wants to get me She wants to hurt me She wants to bring me down Ah, but sometime later When I feel a little naked I will lead her to altar Then I'll tie her all in leather And then I'm gonna whip her [Chorus] Pretty smart on my part Find my way in the dark [Verse 3] I can see him a-coming He's a-walking through bedroom With a switchblade knife He's looking at my wife He wants to get me He wants to hurt me He wants to bring me down But sometime later When I feel a little braver I'll go hunting with my rifle Where the wild geese are flying And then I'm gonna bag one [Chorus] Pretty smart on my part Find my way in the dark [Verse 4] I can see them a-coming They're a-training in the mountains And they talk Chinese And they spread disease They want to get me They want to hurt me They want bring me down But sometime later When I feel a little safer We'll assassinate the President And take over the government And then we're gonna fry them [Chorus] Pretty smart on my part Find my way in the dark
