Lyrics The Residents

The Residents

Hello Skinny

Skinny was born in a bathtub

And he grew so incredibly thin

Even the end of an eyedropper

sucked him in

Skinny never knew any questions

Skinny never looked at the lights

But Skinny sold something

every single night

Skinny sold a soldier to me

Skinny sold a wife

Skinny sold a suction cup

And a knife

Skinny found a Hello Dolly

record in the hall

He sold it to a truck driver

in the fall
