Pow - The Lovin' Spoonful

I’ve always been the guy with the finger in his nose

When the passport picture gets taken

When the big guys took me out stealin' chickens

It was me caught holdin' the bacon

When they’re droppin' a piano from the 47th floor

I’m the guy underneath lookin' up

And when the tidal wave strikes a hundred miles at sea

I’m always at the rail throwin' up

Whee until Pow!

Somehow I woulda met you anyhow

You fix it up and then holy cow

You folks should oughta see me now…

I was standing in the artsy-fartsy uptown restaurant a few frozen dinners ago

When I stumbled on a waiter full of crepes suzettes

And I ran out the door flambeaux

Then I ran down to Chinatown doused myself with soy sauce

And grabbed some moo goo gai-pan to go

When I got wiped out by a stray bean sprout that was landin' on the floor

Whee until Pow!

Somehow I woulda met you anyhow

You fix it up and then holy cow

You folks should oughta see me now…

Well I finally got so fed up

I was off to blow my head off

With the gun inside the cash box at the store

Then I thought I’d grab a fistful

Just in case I weren’t successful

But instead I got my tie caught in the drawer

When you’re riding down the road at a hundred miles an hour

And the guy ahead is hitching someplace

Honey don’t you be surprised I’ll be wiping out my eyes

If you pass me leaving dust in my face

Whee until Pow!

Somehow I woulda met you anyhow

You fix it up and then holy cow

You folks should oughta see me now…

Whee until Pow!

Somehow I woulda met you anyhow

You fix it up and then holy cow

You folks should oughta see me now…
