Lyrics Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones

Weasel And The White Boys Cool

Sal was working at Nyro's nook in downtown

Selling articles of congress to these people downtown

He was pretty sleezy when I met him

A weasel in a poor boy's wool

Sal lives in a Black Vinyl Pen in New Jersey

Buys his meat from a whore next door

Wants it rare but he gets it well

A weasel on a short order floor

So, Sal, say good bye to your mom and your dad

Sal, say good bye to the barrio

Sal, say good bye to your buddies and your pals

Angela, Perry and Mario

Kid Sinister with the bus stop blues

A quarter could take you home

A dime could make a dream come true

But a weasel ain't got a dime for the phone

(Does a weasel got a dime for the phone?)

So, Sal, say good bye to your mom and your dad

Sal, say good bye to the barrio

Sal, say good bye to your buddies and your pals

Angela, Perry and Mario

You dancin' in the welfare lines, Sal

Actin' like some jerk off fool

When we could lay out eatin' peaches on the beaches

A weasel in a white boy's cool

But we're all in a white boy's school

(Just like a weasel)
