Ballad Of Robert

Jandek


Robert Robert Robert
Down at the halfway house house 
Robert down at the halfway house 
He's livin at the halfway house 
The halfway house 
You know the halfway house 
It's got a ??? 
They put a cross on your back and you get real mean 
Down at the halfway house 
Robert (ha ha) at the halfway house 
He's got a cross on your back 
He's got roller skates and the're hitched up to his feet 
He goes right down the street on the roller skates 
They're from the halfway house 
Ya' know this man Robert 
He's no man he ain't no mouse 
He's from the halfway house 
Tell him he's from the halfway house 
Now the doctor says good morning 
And Robert looked up'n he had blisters on his fingers 
And the doctor said Robert, Robert he said Robert 
You are not the halfway house, the halfway house 
He's Robert from the halfway house
