Two Reelers - Frank Black

A lot of people love that Jerome

Did you know he missed his comb?

All his life was in pain

Made us laugh, he never did complain

Brother Sam was more than OK

Returned once more to save the day

Slicked-back hair he did keep

Making a heap, heap, heap, heap, heap

If all you see is violence

Then I make a plea in their defense

Don’t you know they speak vaudevillian?

And for what it is hear what my theory is

Some gibberish it is so serious

What we need is more silly men

Though underrated all the time

Louis was so very fine

Without him, imagine

Did you know he could play the violin?

Most important was brother Moe

He was the one who made it so

He got a Joe and another Joe

He would not quit, he would not quit

And Mr. White heard bad report

And so it ends the two reeler short

Cause you cannot do what you can’t

And Mr. White heard bad report

And so it ends the two reeler short

Cause you cannot do what you can’t

If all you see is violence

Then I make a plea in their defense

Don’t you know they speak vaudevillian?
