lyrics

but then he fell in with a pelican
who were an old bank teller
who told him "say, it's you again
"you fine upstanding feller!
"let me let you in on somethin' -
there's a secret to all financin'
just fudge and, if you in the shit,
then three plus three is ten"

cigarettes put out on white shoulder
the jolly eagle counts them 1-2-3
the eagle's purple blood is flowing freely
and the dead dead cuckoo's body's growing colder

the pelican in a tree
he's a liar and a cheater
he's a white star drinking gold boy
he's a sleeveless old wife-beater
he says, "just fudge and, if you in the shit,
then three plus three is ten"

say it again: the pelican in a tree
he's a wheeler and a dealer
he's a pocket orange peeler
he's a cad, he smells of fish
and he's our private public enemy
