[Verse 1]
There's a tramp sitting on the doorstep
Trying to waste his time
He's eating a mentholated sandwich
He's a walking clothes line
Well, here comes, here comes the bishop's daughter
On the other side
Well, she looks a trifle jealous
She's been an outcast all of her life

[Chorus]
Ah but me, I've been waiting so patiently
Lying here on the floor
I'm just trying to do my little jigsaw puzzle
Before it rains anymore

[Verse 2]
Now the outlaw he looks vicious
With the Luger in his hand
But when he comes to the wife and kiddies
He's a family man
And when it comes to the nitty gritty
He can really shove his knife
Well, he looks quite religious
He's been an outlaw all of his life
[Chorus]
Ah but me, I've been waiting so patiently
Lying here on the floor
I'm just trying to do my little jigsaw puzzle
Before it rains anymore
