Slap Leather
James Taylor
Words and Music by James Taylor from his 1991 album "New Moon Shine." [Verse 1] Take all the money that we need for school And to keep the street people in out of the cold Spend it on a weapon you can never use Make the world an offer that they can’t refuse [Verse 2] Open up the door and let the shark-men feed Hoover of the future in the land of greed Sell the Ponderosa to the Japanese [Chorus] Slap leather Head for that line of trees yeah Slap leather Go on Ron just about to go myself [Verse 3] Turn the whole wide world into a TV show So it’s just the same game wherever you go You never meet a soul that you don’t already know One big advertisement for the status quo [Verse 4] As if these celebrities were your close friends As if you knew how the story ends As if you weren’t sitting in a room alone And there was somebody real at the other end of the phone yeah [Chorus] Squibnocket Phone sex Just about to dial your number [Instrumental] [Verse 5] Get all worked up so we can go to war We find something worth killing for Tie a yellow ribbon around your eyes Big McFalafel and a side of fries yeah [Chorus] Big McFalafel Storming Norman I just love a parade [Chorus] Slap leather Phone love Big McFalafel Just about to dial myself
