lyrics

I hear the man’s no hero
To his valet
He’s got a parking pass that’s
Good all day
You’d think that’d keep him
In the race
For a few or
Just in time for seconds
But some promise just’s not enough
For a Grub Street Writer

He hobbles down
To Cripplegate
If he ever shows he’ll be a
Tad too late
The thief’s already dangling
From the chains
Never was too good to folks
Anyway

No good but the best friend of
The Grub Street Writer

He’s a penny-a-liner
But that ain’t so bad
He’ll be known by the ages
Just for that
Authors and arrows
Should never mix
Even an off writer
Writes holey script

And for pennies on the dollar here’s a story of/from
The Grub Street Writer
