Do you remember your first real girlfriend, or I've found love on a two way street and lost it on a lonely highway

Do you remember your first girlfriend or boyfriend

 

She was one of my best friend’s sisters

Girlfriend

Yup she was mine at least for

Three days

Anyway one day

I decided that I was in love with Linda

She was ………to be kind

Not the prettiest or the classiest broad in the world

Hell she was kind of plain

I am speaking in code here

Some please excuse me

But

What the hell

We were in like

5th grade

Anyway

All on my own

I went up to Broad Street and brought a dollar ring

From a tacky little store

That sold trinkets

Boggles bangles and Beads

An ugly thing now

That I remember

I ran back home

Went to my friends house

Sidney fisher house

My crazy Jamaican friend

And gave his sister the ring

She smiled her gapped tooth

Smile

And then took the ring to her mother Mattie,

To see

Mattie fisher was truly a scary creature

Short

Squat

Toad like and Loud

She was the prototype of the ghetto

Mommy who is always beating and yelling

At there kids in public places

You have seen her time and time again

Anyway she was

Loud

Funny

And would beat the living shit out of you

But Mattie always liked me

Because she thought I was a good kid

I could lie with the best of them

And Mattie who own kids were so

Rotten

Was unable to see through

To my black heart

I was a crazy kid

Anyway

Mattie

Came up to me

And I was shaking

She told me how cute the ring

Was

And how cute I was

I was so happy

That I ran out of that house

Two days later

I saw my new girlfriend

Linda

Walking down the street holding hands

With the craziest guy in school

Harvey hall

That was it

I ran into the house

Tried to get up some tears

Oh well

But I was in love

Anyway

What happened to Linda?

Later and not that much later

She became a lesbian

And a heroin addict

She still hung around us

Sid was grown and married

And I still hung with Sidney and his wife Claudia

Who also became a lesbian?

Anyway Linda

Soon o-d on the stuff

Sidney and us were torn up

But this family had a curse on it

They all started dying like flies

Sidney’s youngest brother

Died of aids

His sister od

His brother went to jail

Parents died

And the curse even extended

To Linda last girlfriend

Tessie

Tessie was Puerto Rican

Tall beautiful

And a truly nice person

To boot

She was a working girl

Anyway after Linda od

Tessie took up with another

Of our friends

Anyway

A guy escaped from the nut house

Upstate some where

This is a true story

The guy was crazy

He walked and hitches rides through two states

Trying doors along the way

People doors

Anyway he soon

Some how

Wound up in Elizabeth

Walked into Tessie

Building

Found her front door open

Which it always was

I used to warn her about locking her

Door

Anyway

He stabbed Tessie and her

New girlfriend

To death in the bed

Horrible

Elizabeth New jersey

Is a hard core town

It’s where I am from

But now when I return

There

I am not so sure if

It’s the same place

That I remember

But

Ill always remember

My first girlfriend

And her whining ugly smile

And short lived

Life
