steamin'

some days 

there's a chattanooga choo choo

just waiting for you when you wake up

sitting on the sofa

the steam rises

through you,

there's no holding back

the surge

the coalshine

the floweasy

whistlin' dixie

shine those shoes

like daddy did

the smell of polish

the soft flannel

the waxy rubbing,

'til the sun hits it

and you feel it 

all the way through

they just come,

when you finally

give it all up

that's the joke, friend

wink
