Harry  was a rich young man who would  become a priest
He  dug up his dear father who was recently  deceased
He  did it with tarot cards  and a mystically attuned mind
And  shortly there  and after  he did find
Jeanny  was a spoiled young brat, she thought  she knew it all
She  smoked mentholated cigarettes and she had  sex in the hall
 But she  was not  my kind  or even  of  my sigh
The  kind of animal  that I would be about
Oh  oh oh, you  keep hangin' 'round me
And  I'm not so glad you found me
You're  still doing things that I gave up years  ago
Oh  oh oh, you  keep hangin' 'round me
And  I'm not so glad you found me
You're  still doing things that I gave up years  ago
Hangin'  'round, hangin'  'round
 Cathy was a bit surreal, she painted all her toes
 And on her face she wore dentures clamped tightly to her nose
 And when she finally spoke her twang her glasses broke
 And no one else could smoke while she was in the room
 Hark the herald angels sang and reached out for a phone
 And plucking it with ivory hand dialed long distance home
 But it was all too much sprinkling angel dust
 to A.T. and T. Who didn't wish you well
Hangin'  'round, hangin'  'round
Hangin'  'round, hangin'  'round
Hangin'  'round, hangin'  'round
