lyrics

I walked past a church today and saw a dwarf combing his hair in an arched basement room. He sensed that I was watching him and said “English?” He came to the open door, eager to practice his English with a native speaker. He was missing both of his front teeth, so he held his index finger over his lip as he spoke, which made him appear as if he were doing an impersonation of Hitler. I heard his name as “Kolchak” and when I told him I was American he launched into a series of random questions, as if to test me: “Who shot Abraham Lincoln? Who wrote ‘The Red Badge of Courage?’ When was Truman president?” Then he asked me if I was married. “I was, but I’m divorced now?” “Children?” “No.” “No children, not really married. No children a hundred times and still not married.” Then he laughed and said “You take Kolchak to America. First day in America, Kolchak have T.V. show.”
