Jeff's Corner Lyrics - Ookla The Mok

There's a stool that waits in the corner of the corner bar 

six nights a week 

Til six pm that's when Crazy Jeff comes in 

Between drinks and under his breath you can hear him speak 

There's one at every bar there's a bar at every corner 

There's a corner at the end of every street 

Don't get to close or Crazy Jeff will corner you 

He tries to tell his whole life story to everyone he meets 

All he wants is somebody anybody 

Friends Romans countrymen lend him an ear 

But seldom can he get their attention 

So he bends his head and mutters softly to his beer 

He says, "Hey let me tell you something, 

I got to tell this I'll tell this much for free 

Hey I'll you right now I'll tell you I'll tell you, hey 

How bout them Bills?" 

And he hardly even thinks about her twenty times a day 

or maybe thirty at the most 

but still that's half of what it was eight years ago 

that's when she left and took the kids he almost didn't notice 

he had his job he had to work he had to feed his family 

There's a thought that hides in the corner of the corner 

of Crazy Jeff's mind 

As the memories linger as memories do 

He sits and drinks and hopes 

For an early grave
