  • (originally named jumpin jehosaphat)
  • Jehosaphat the mongrel cat
  • Jumped off the roof today
  • Some would say he fell but I could tell
  • He did himself away
  • His eyes werent bright like they were the night
  • We played checkers on the train
  • God bless his soul he was a tootsie roll
  • But hes a dead cat just the same
  • Chorus:
  • We are living in the future
  • Ill tell you how I know
  • I read it in the paper
  • Fifteen years ago
  • Were all driving rocket ships
  • And talking with our minds
  • And wearing turquoise jewelry
  • And standing in soup lines
  • We are standing in soup lines
  • Jake the barbers lonely daughter
  • Went down to her daddys shop
  • She plugged herself to a barber pole
  • And took a little off the top
  • Pressure on the left. pressure on the right
  • Pressure in the middle of the hole
  • Im goin to maine on a forty foot crane
  • Im gonna use it for a fishin pole
  • Repeat chorus
  • Old sarah brown sells tickets down
  • At the all night picture show
  • Where they grind out sex
  • And they rate it with an x
  • Just to make a young mans pants grow
  • No tops no bottoms just hands and feet
  • Screaming the posters out on the street
  • Strangling the curious and the weak
  • We give em what they want to see - o
  • Repeat chorus
