"The Boat Family" lyrics - THE ROCHES

THE ROCHES
"The Boat Family"
(Maggie Roche)

I am a little piece of chocolate
Expensive and mean
No nutritional values have I
You may have me
Once in a while
I will make you smile

You are a fifty pound bag of soybeans
More than a bargain to me
You take hours to cook
You have serious taste
You make me sob

I am a poison and I am fun
Illegal lightweight luxury
You are the law the long hard road
Grave inevitable destiny

This is story of the boat family
Came over here from the Red China Sea
Moved into the sovereign state of Suffern
When they got their picture taken they were laughin'
