My Cardboard Box

Lyrics

[Chorus] Come home with me, honey 'Cause I like you lots My place gets a little cold, might wanna double your socks And I'll warm you with my loving As the temperature drops We'll make it toasty as an oven in my cardboard box In my cardboard box In my cardboard box [Verse 1] We'll cut out nice pictures Of fine food and drink Wash our little paper dishes In the photo of a sink I'll tape an ad to your shoulders Of catalogue mink Give you newspaper roses And champagne ink [Verse 2] My roommate Willie is a good man He just mostly gets stoned But Willie doesn't dig it When I bring somebody home I'll say "Hey, back off, fat man I don't like your tone!" Believe me, Willie will turn over And leave the two of us alone [Chorus] Come home with me, honey 'Cause I like you lots My place gets a little cold, might wanna double your socks And I'll warm you with my loving As the temperature drops We'll make it toasty as an oven in my cardboard box In my cardboard box In my cardboard box [Verse 3] Can you possibly resist me? Don't I ring your bell? You got that certain look that tells me This is one hard sell Is it the outfit, sweetie? Is it the smell? I'll slap on eau de cologne And get you under my spell [Chorus] And I'll warm you with my loving As the temperature drops We'll make it toasty as an oven in my cardboard box [Bridge] When I made the big bucks and had my moment in the sun I only stood two paychecks between the condo and the slum In time I grew disgusted by the homeless scum But babe, I've since adjusted Now that I'm one [Verse 4] I punched out a little window It's got a very lovely view We'll take in all the action Down on the avenue And if the natives get restless And the cops turn cruel Well, that's the price you gotta pay For urban renewal [Chorus] Come home with me, sweetie 'Cause I like you lots My place gets a little cold, might wanna double your socks And I'll warm you with my loving As the temperature drops I'll make it toasty as an oven in my cardboard box In my cardboard box In my cardboard box
