Dr John - Mixed Nuts Lyrics

It's a mixed bowl of nuts, that's what it is
It's a road full of ruts, rolls into town
It's a warm bead of sweat upon her lip
It's a passionate kiss that sips it down

We keep grinding our lives out day to day
In a play upon a prison stage
The very last scene is light and gay
But there are so many other scenes that we've yet to play

When the snow covered lawn is calm and still
And the icicles reach down to your toes
When the angels doze off and dream of sins
That's when desire start to cough and true love shows

We keep grinding our lives out day to day
In a play upon a prison stage
The very last scene is light and gay
But there are so many other scenes that we've yet to play

It's a mixed bowl of nuts, that's what it is
It's a bar full of sluts without a clue
It's a warm bead of sweat inside my heart
And please never forget that I love you
