Sausalito Witch Lyrics & Chords By Shel Silverstein

Well, she wakes up filled with joy and hope
Immediately checks her horoscope
Find out which side of the bed she should get up on.
Then she calls a seance around the table

Ask Cleopatra and Clark Gable
Whether or not she should
Put her bra with the double-A cup on.

Takes a spin on the ouija board,
Asked the blessings of the lord
As she throws her e-Ching on the ground,
And then she checks her hand to see
If while she was sleeping mysteriously
Somebody snuck in changed her life line all around.

And I looked out her window at the Sausalito Bay...
Plane flying low over Gate Five, and I missed it.
Well, I should be in Chicago now,
But I stayed one extra day,
And Sausalito Witch has got me twisted.
Got me twisted.

She wears a Star of David
And a crucifix.
And she's only turned occasional tricks
To pay the rent till I come along to save her.

Start lickin' my toes
And when I groan, she says
"Go away". She wants to be alone
With a cold bottle that a guru gave her.

She says she ain't loved nothin'
Since she lost a copy of 'The Little Prince'
And that rumor about her and her girlfriend,
There ain't nothin' to it.
But she only makes love on September 22

And the belle of the dance
The night she beckons
And she reckons that it'll be another year
Before we have a chance to do it.

And the houseboat keeps on rockin' on Sausalito Bay
A plane flying over Gate Five
And I missed it.
Well, I should be in Chicago now,

But I stayed one extra day.
And Sausalito Witch has got me twisted.
Got me twisted.

She's a natural girl.
She's got a natural look.
She eats nature foods.
She got natural needs

Like a little early-morning wake-up speed,
And if you got a little bit a smack,
She just might try it.
Then she smokes some shit

But that's all right.
That's just to help her appetite.
And that Dex she took that's just to help her diet.
Well, she dropped some acid to free her soul

Takes Enovid for birthcontrol
Teriomyacin for her non-specific
She snorts some coke to help her ball
And goes to sleep with Seconol
And then tells me, "Ain't this natural life terrific?"

And the houseboat keeps on rockin'
On Sausalito Bay.
A plane flying over Gate Five
And I missed it.

Well, I should be in Chicago,
But I stayed one extra day.
And Sausalito Witch has got me twisted.
Say, Sausalito Witch has got me twisted.

Sausalito Witch has got me turned around
And talkin' to my elbow...
