telephone call from istanbul

• all night long on the broken glass
  livin in a medicine chest
  mediteromanian hotel back
  sprawled across a roll top desk
  the monkey rode the blade on an
  overhead fan
  they paint the donkey blue if you pay
  i got a telephone call from istanbul
  my baby's coming home today
  will you sell me one of those if i shave my head
  get me out of town is what fireball said
  never trust a man in a blue trench coat
  never drive a car when you're dead
  saturday's a festival
  friday's a gem
  dye your hair yellow
  and raise your hem
  follow me to beulah's on
  dry creek road
  i got to wear the hat that my baby done sewed
  take me down to buy a tux
  on red rose bear
  got to cut a hole in the day
  i got a telephone call from istanbul
  my baby's coming home today
