[Verse 1: Frank Black] The drum sticks were his treasure trove Found in the ashes of the coconut grove
[Pre-Chorus 1: Frank Black, backed by Paz Lenchantin] Hey man, can you give me something Hey man, did you give me something Hey man, nothing comes from nothing Hey man, something came from somewhere [Chorus: Frank Black, backed by Paz Lenchantin] Hey man, it's a tenement song Just there on the tip of your tongue Let's play on a tenement song On and on and on
[Interlude: Paz Lenchantin] Tenement song Tenement song
[Verse 2: Frank Black, backed by Paz Lenchantin] Tall model and one more smoke Tenement Song She lived through the fire but the kennel got broke Tenement Song
[Pre-Chorus: Frank Black, backed by Paz Lenchantin] Hey man, can you give me something Hey man, did you give me something
[Chorus: Frank Black, backed by Paz Lenchantin] Hey man, it's a tenement song Just there on the tip of your tongue Let's play on a tenement song On and on and on
[Solo]
[Chorus: Frank Black, backed by Paz Lenchantin] Hey man it's a tenement song Just there on the tip of your tongue Let's play on a tenement song On and on and on
