Rattlebones

Go ask Joe, old rattlebones
He'll tell you the score
Who's doing what to whom
And why and when and more
There ain't no mysteries here
He seems to know it all
He's got his ears to the ground
If you're coming 'round his stories need all day

Not some derelict
That's just part of his disguise
Blends in nicely here
When he's out to get his prize
He can hold any drink
That anybody buys
Just to learn a little more
It's an open door but his stories need all day
(Joe, take it away)

Sees us from behind his blinds
Wе offer vigilante pay
We tеll him people wouldn't mind
But he smiles and turns away

Go ask Joe, old rattlebones
He's everybody's link
Won't cost you anything but
Your time and a little drink
Go ask Rattlebones
He'll tell you the score
Who's doing what to whom
You can come in the room but his stories need all day
(Joe, take it away)
