It all seemed to happen so fast Will you ever believe the way he passed away I saw his widow speak on her fortune She was feelin' pretty apathetic Coax me, cajole me Coax me, cajole me If I drink concentrated OJ Can I think Consolidated's okay? It's not the band I hate, it's their fans Three cans of water perverts me Coax me, cajole me Coax me, cajole me Coax me, cajole me And after he died By rights she'd have cried I gave mine away I gave mine away I saw a widow's peak on her forehead It was full of lines and sinkers Coax me, cajole me Coax me, cajole me Coax me, cajole me
