《Guns Under the Counter》歌词

[00:00:02] Guns Under the Counter

[00:00:03] Well good for you

[00:00:05] But we have something too

[00:00:07] So said my aunt

[00:00:08] A bowling alley and lunch counter

[00:00:10] Filled with fellas on their lunch break

[00:00:12] From the Western Electric plant at a slant across the street

[00:00:16] And next door when So and So's men would come in and the man himself very often

[00:00:21] It was guns under the counter every time

[00:00:24] Guns under the counter every time

[00:00:26] Guns under the counter every time

[00:00:28] And bowling on the second floor

[00:00:31] Very often he was there himself

[00:00:33] And I of course had a special small ball as a little girl

[00:00:37] And didn't I grow up didn't I grow up to be captain of the Morton girls bowling team I did

[00:00:43] Though I don't attach much importance to that now or then

[00:00:46] Then riding the old Garfield El downtown

[00:00:49] And on up to State Street

[00:00:50] And back to guns under the counter

[00:00:53] Guns under the counter every time

[00:00:55] Guns under the counter

[00:00:57] And bowling on the second floor

[00:01:12] I never liked Douglas park

[00:01:14] And no one likes it now

[00:01:15] But that's neither here nor there

[00:01:18] There or here

[00:01:19] West of Crawford where it is I stayed

[00:01:22] Chicago straights alliterates

[00:01:24] North and south

[00:01:25] I lived in the Ms

[00:01:27] But it was down on the south side

[00:01:30] Dr Peter Pane and his brother had their doughnut factory

[00:01:33] And I mention it now because

[00:01:35] That one day

[00:01:36] Now I wasn't there we were in Davenport at that time

[00:01:40] Some north side Irish bullets came zipping through that window

[00:01:44] In Cicero

[00:01:45] Never stand at a window

[00:01:47] And past the counter

[00:01:48] Looking for those men

[00:01:50] Who had their guns behind the counter

[00:01:52] And you could smell the boiled cabbage on those bullets

[00:01:55] One of them managed to hit a young pinsetter in the leg

[00:01:58] Wouldn't you know it

[00:02:00] But luckily Panagoulis

[00:02:01] Dr Peter Pane

[00:02:03] Was there to see to it

[00:02:04] He took some special blackberry filling right out of his lunch bag

[00:02:07] And applied it to the young man's wound

[00:02:10] You see Dr Peter Pane was an interesting man

[00:02:12] And an even more interesting doctor

[00:02:14] As he would use no material or remedy that wasn't used in the manufacture

[00:02:17] Of his doughnuts down on 82nd and Kedzie with his brother

[00:02:21] But he tempered this by the fact that he would rarely use ingredients

[00:02:24] That didn't have some medicinal purpose

[00:02:26] Or so he thought

[00:02:28] Here in the doughnut factory

[00:02:30] They have confectioner's sugar

[00:02:31] So sweet it was caustic

[00:02:34] And chocolate so bitter that it could kill typhus

[00:02:37] Glazing so shiny

[00:02:39] It could set back glaucoma

[00:02:41] And filling so filling

[00:02:43] You didn't need stitches

[00:02:47] The same special blackberry filling that was applied to the young man's wound

[00:02:52] Blackberry filling that came straight from Dr Peter Pane's lunch bag

[00:03:32] We were in Davenport

[00:03:33] With a big restaurant downtown

[00:03:36] And I once kept a jackrabbit in the back yard

[00:03:39] And I'd walk across the river to Rock Island to Greek school

[00:03:43] On a fine fall day

[00:03:48] And I'd look up at the sky

[00:03:52] And down at the river

[00:03:56] But Davenport changed its name to Hooverville

[00:04:00] So to speak and we had to go to Chicago to move in with my aunt
