Ferryboat Bill Lyrics

Ferryboat Bill, won't you please come home?
You know your wife has married a midget's son
And that's the short and long of it.

Just a silly song about a ferryboat driver whose daughter married a midget. Note this stanza is repeated several times, followed by "doot doo doo, doot doo doo". Has an excellent riff on live versions. Like a more accessible Captain Beefheart.
