06. Tiger Pajamas

Red Beets and Horseradish
by The Little Wretches

       
Lyrics:

He was just a child in tiger pajamas,
complete with a tiger’s tail
Hiding in the closet when his dad came home from work
Grrrrr! Grrrrr!
Uh oh, I think I hear a tiger,
Uh oh, There’s a tiger in there
Oh no, someone save me from that tiger
Don’t worry dad, it’s just me, your little boy

Never was a child so in need of being loved
but how much love is enough?
Oh God, why’d you do that to my brother
God, why’d you do that to him
Oh God, why’d you do that to my brother
I thought You said You loved him
I thought You loved him
I thought You said you did

When he was nine years old and his birthday came
Even mother and father forgot
We ran out to the store to buy a baseball glove
As though the fairy boy would start to like sports
Some cake and some ice cream,
The kid never knew
Then again, he had to have known
They said he was the spoiled kid
But the forgotten kid
The kid who grew up on his own

He was the kid with chipped teeth
And a couple of scars
Always crashing into something
Always going too hard
The queer one, the b*tchy one,
The girlie boy child
But how you gonna hate a kid so reckless and wild?

He liked to smoke and he liked to get high
He liked to drink, my could that kid drink
He could drink even the biker dudes under the table
In those soggy druggy smelly redneck bars
People used to say he showed them his poetry
People used to say he played them his songs
Well, I know he could sing
But he never showed nothing to me
Too precious too private too strong

That’s the problem with fairies
Always hiding themselves
Afraid you might find out the truth
He was my brother
His enemies were my enemies
But we pretended that nobody knew

Never was a child so in need of being loved
but how much love is enough
Oh God, why’d You do that to my brother?
Oh God, why’d You do that to him?
Oh God why’d You do that to my brother?
I thought You said You loved him.
I thought You loved him.
I thought You said You did.
Oh God, why’d you do that to my brother?
His enemies are my enemies?
So how am I supposed to avenge
what you did to my brother?
