Joey Demento Lyrics - Marc Almond

The cops had the boys 

up against the car 

down santa monica boulevard 

baby food for the rich and sick 

thank la for spawning it 

High piled hair 

low slung breasts 

the big hung boy 

the deep cut dress 

Ran a chicken ranch 

for a guy named tex 

i didn't know who tex 

would bring home next 

one from a slum 

one who was a bum 

one on the run 

somebody's son 

one whose mother was in on the kick 

baby food for the rich and sick 

There's cops at the hatch 

but she doesn't even hear 

she's too busy practising santeria 

oh chango chango 

oh chango chango 

chango chango won't you bring me luck 

plenty of money 

oh yes! and a little bit of love 

Trussed up tight 

on a mattress of thorns 

four limbs tied to the corners of the bed 

mummy's goodbyes ringing in my head 

mummy's goodbyes ringing in my head 

goodbye, goodbye 

There's someone on the till 

and someone at the tools 

hot brand iron 

and a collar of steel 

somebody put my name on a runaway list 

i never thought i'd get caught like this 

She's down below at a coconut shrine 

cryin' chango chango won't you bring me a man 

chango chango won't you bring me a man 

a man who is clean 

who never acts mean 

and you know where he's been 

someone from a dream that is 

someone who'll take me away from here 

me! the finest madame in mexico city 

being den mother in a nursery 

I'd like to put them out of their misery 

but a gun to the temple doesn't quite seem like me 

i'd like to put them out of their misery 

but a gun to the temple doesn't quite seem like me 

Chango chango 

chango chango 

chango chango 

(repeat to end)
