Papa Hobo Lyrics - Paul Simon - Paul Simon

Mm------ 

It's carbon and monoxide 

The ole Detroit perfume 

It hangs on the highways 

In the morning 

And it lays you down by noon 

Oh Papa Hobo 

You can see that I'm dressed like a schoolboy 

But I feel like a clown 

It's a natural reaction I learned 

In this basketball town

Sweep up 

I been sweeping up the tips I've made 

I'm living on Gatorade 

Planning my getaway 

Detroit, Detroit 

Got a hell of a hockey team 

Got a left-handed way 

Of making a man sign up on that 

Automotive dream, oh yeah, oh yeah 

Oh, Papa Papa Hobo 

Could you slip me a ride? 

Well, it's just after breakfast 

I'm in the road 

And the weatherman lied, 

Oo-------, Ah-----, Oo-------
