lyrics

HENRIETTA
Copyright 1992 Walter Salas-Humara
Published 1992 Lagartija Music, BMI

Smoke in the kitchen
Burn, burn, burn
Burn them steak and eggs
Burn them hash browns

It's so hard
It's so hard
It's so hard to hate
Henrietta
Walk away from me
Henrietta
Tipping the balance sheet
Give me back my soul

Out on the fire escape
Cough, cough, cough
Down in the backyard
Watch it all burn down

It's so hard
It's so hard
It's so hard to hate
Henrietta

Out comes the firetruck
Yeah. yeah, yeah
I feel like a firetruck, but
Henrietta's laughing her heart out

It's so hard
It's so hard
It's so hard to hate
Henrietta
Walk away from me
Henrietta
Tipping the balance sheet
Give me back my soul
