Play Musty for Me



I knew all this music that daily surrounds me would sooner or later lead to
trouble. Youse shouldna hadda oughtta gone on about this musty stuff. Now
I'm gonna hafta hurtchyas.


                                           Musty*

What a room. It's as filthy as the bottom of a broom,
And with each step we're raising a cloud, in this dim-lit dive.
It's so musty in this archive.

Walk this way, these here papers never see the light of of day,
And the mold that we grow smells more dead than alive.
It's so musty in this archive.

You can say that I should be leading
But that would just never do,
I don't want you to notice I'm wearing a mask,
That's why I'm following you.

Time to go, but you're welcome to come back here tomor-row,
Risking harm to your right lung or your left, your throat or your nose.
It's too musty and it's time to close.
It's too musty and it's time to close.
