lyrics

Al was five, and I was four.
Mama was all dressed up out the door.
The sitter’s name was Angeline.
She looked at the both of us and said
now you’re mine.

She said start with the dishes, boys,
get them nice and clear.
We pulled chairs to the sink
and reached for the steam.
When we were done we found her
stretched out long and lean.
She laughed and asked if we had ever
played Serve The Queen.
She said bring me my purse and a beer
and get on your knees.
She dug some pills from the bottom
and said boys take one of these.
She took two for herself, said
I’m gonna get me some sleep.
One of you rub my belly,
the other rub my feet.

Take one of these
and serve the queen.

Where’s my sister?
