Shel Silverstein - Crouchin’ On The OutsideShel Silverstein - Crouchin’ On The Outside
Work rating: Low


One two three four five six seven eight hey baby you`re a little too late I`m standin` on the outside lookin` in at you on the inside Lookin` out at me on the outside lookin` in Through the window of my madness at a place I never been And you say you understand just what my trouble`s all about But you`re sitting on the inside playing on the win side While I`m freezing on the outside in the what`s-it-all-about side Lookin` in at you on the inside looking out One two three four five six seven eight hey Jim let`s talk about hate I`m walkin` on the white side lookin` `round at you on the brown side Lookin` back at him on the black side lookin` down And we`re mouthin` words of freedom but we don`t make any sound And we clasp our hands in brotherhood and then go wash our hands While you`re stayin` on the brown side on the go-ahead-and-put-me-down side While I`m standin` on the white side on the got-me-way-up-tight side Lookin` back at him on the black side lookin` back One two three four five six seven eight hey Claude don`t bother to wait You`re cruisin` on the gay side lookin` straight at me on the straight side Lookin` way at you on the gay side lookin` straight And you`re screamin` from the rooftops bout the pleasures that won`t wait And your closet`s full of queenly gowns for extra special dates And you`re campin` on the gay side on the c`mon-out-and-play side While I`m over on the trick side on the got-to-find-a-chick side Lookin` way at you on the gay side lookin` straight One two four seven nine eight twelve fifteen nineteen eighteen ninety-nine twenty-four else [ sax ] One two three four five six seven eight hey Miss hallucinate You`re boppin` on the hip side laughin` at me on the flip side Chasin` after you on the hip side losin` my grip And you`re walkin` on a tightrope and you`re tryin` not to slip And you say you found out where it`s at and give it all a try So you`re groovin` on the hip side in the come-and-take-a-trip side I`m movin` on the square side in the show-me-when-and-where side Chasin` after you on the hip side lookin` high Lookin` at you on the hip side lookin` out yeah Lookin` at you on the flip side lookin` back
