Premarital Sex Lyrics
"Oh, Mr. Macorick?"
"Yes?"
'Is there an organ in the house?"
"An organ?"
"Yeah. When I ? (done with) ? bakin' I thought I heard this weird organ music."
"...Well perhaps you heard the, uh, wind howling in the trees."
"Well that's what I thought at first, and then... when the lights went out and I was looking for candles, I heard it again, coming from upstairs."
"Sometimes this ? (vent fill leads to radio live) ? perhaps that's what you heard."
" ? (Alright) ? Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
[pause]
"(sigh)... Mr. Macorick? ... Did you ever see 'Phantom of the Opera'?"
First you say you will
Then you say you won’t
Then you say you’re waiting for that special someone
You will have some day
It’s guilty temptation
Adolescent lust
Now you’ve got more than pimples popping out
First you say that you will
But you know you won’t
But you gotta get your thrill
Don’t look at me
Go ahead and take the pill
Premarital sex
At the place that I work
The guys are always talking
About sexual delights
And pleasures of the flesh
You can get it plenty
You can get it nice
You can get it anywhere at anytime
If you pay the price
First you say that you will
But you know you won’t
But you gotta get your thrill
Don’t look at me
Go ahead and take the pill
Premarital sex

Good, oft-forgotten tune from Songs of Pain. I like how the recording at the beginning (not sure if it's from a movie or TV show or other) is an allegory of the music Johnston chose to accompany the lyrics, as the lyrics themselves are about as self-explanatory as you can get. Although if he had included a scene from a movie/TV show where a teenage girl discovers she's pregnant or a bunch of guys are talking about sex, it would've been pretty funny I'm sure.
Just some corrections and filling in of blank spots.. btw does anyone know what the sample at the beginning is from? Please let me know if you do: iphisthesolipsist@gmail.com - subject: Daniel Johnston, please. I'd be very grateful if anyone knows. I'm watching old Twilight Zone episodes hoping it's from that lol.
"Oh, Mr. Macorick?" (Mr. Lacord?) "Yes?" "Is there an organ in the house?" "An organ?" "Yes. When I was on the phone with Gracy last night I heard this weird organ music." "...Well perhaps you heard the, uh, wind howling in the trees." "Well that's what I thought at first, and then... when the lights went out and I was looking for candles, I heard it again, coming from upstairs." "Sometimes Ms. Lenfield leaves the radio on, perhaps that's what you heard." "Perhaps, Goodnight."* "Goodnight." [pause] "(sigh)... Mr. Macorick? ... Did you ever see 'Phantom of the Opera'?"
