Her Chinese Typewriter Lyrics by Matthew Friedberger

Winter Women

0

Tamara Baxter at the Female Missionary
Intelligencer HQ cherry wood desk
And a chinese typewriter:
And three locked drawers that you opened with your Knoxville pocket knife, Tamara Baxter
Virtue and carbon copy ditto paper eye shadow blue
Virtue and carbon copy ditto paper eye shadow blue
Virtue and carbon copy ditto paper eye shadow blue
Virtue and carbon copy ditto paper eye shadow blue
Yesterday you had a meeting with Mrs. Means-
A stormy meeting in which too much was said
Especially by Mrs. Means; and you wrote it all down, clever girl
In a memo marked Mrs. Means meeting memo
Virtue and carbon copy ditto paper eye shadow blue
Virtue and carbon copy ditto paper eye shadow blue
Virtue and carbon copy ditto paper eye shadow blue
Virtue and carbon copy ditto paper eye shadow blue
And you produced that memo 5 weeks later when she moved to have you dismissed for being, once or twice late - maybe-
And too slow a Chinese typist - ridiculous!
So now you've got the key to those three locked drawers
Not that you ever needed it, Tamara Baxter
At the East Town mall and the beaver brook country club;
Over 6th Baptist church down on Blackstock ave
I bet they miss you more than ever
But you're never going back
- please, don't ever go back
Virtue and carbon copy ditto paper eye shadow blue
Virtue and carbon copy ditto paper eye shadow blue
Virtue and carbon copy ditto paper eye shadow blue
Choose your cherry wood picked-lock drawer desk
And your Jusco old Japanese made Chinese typewriter
And me - I admit it
Tamara Baxter at the Female Missionary
Intelligencer HQ cherry wood desk
And a chinese typewriter:
And three locked drawers that you still open with your Knoxville pocket knife, Tamara Baxter
Virtue and carbon copy ditto paper-shadow blue
Virtue and carbon copy ditto paper-shadow blue
Virtue and carbon copy ditto paper-shadow blue
Virtue and carbon copy ditto paper-shadow blue
Chose your cherry-wood broken-lock drawer desk
And your Jusco Japanese-made Chinese
And me - I admit it
Chose your cherry-wood broken-lock drawer desk
And your Jusco Japanese-made Chinese
And me - I admit it
