The Creamsicle Queen

When I was in Thailand, I drove by the call girl section and the next day I began writing this song.

The Creamsicle Queen

I'm going to ride an elephant
I'm going to dance and have a drink
I'm going to hope, yes, I'm going to dream
I'm going to sail on the Creamsicle Queen

Do you want to take a ride with us?
We've got a big red cherry bus
We've got straw hats and pink champagne
All are welcome who want to be tamed

Along came a man with a sturdy walking cane
His lips were parched and his hair a messy mane
I pulled out a comb and teased out all the knots
As he licked his lips daydreaming of some Scotch

So I asked --

Do you want to take a ride with us?
We've got a big red cherry bus
We've got straw hats and pink champagne
All are welcome who want to be tamed

He took my hand and we do-si-do'd
Careful not to clomp on each other's toes
He spun me in and when I looked up
Who was tamed and who was hooked?

We're going to ride some elephants
We're going to dance and have some drinks
We're going to hope, yes we're going to dream
We're setting sail on the Creamsicle Queen

Two years rolled by and his fears strolled in
Turning blue silk skies to steel then gin
I looked in my mirror and painted on a face
Then I sang to myself, how bout another chase?

Do you want to take a ride with us?
We've got a great big cherry bus
We've got paper cups of chardonnay
All are welcome who can hide their pain
