Dave Van Ronk
Head Inspector
Some damn fool knockin at my door
Broke down, poppin round
I saw a man I never saw before
Broke down, poppin round
I'm the Head Inspector, that's what he said
Broke down, poppin round
Bend down while I inspect your head

He's got a stethoscope and a fluoroscope
He'll make your horoscope to the buzz elope
Wash your brain with laundry soap
Broke up or broke down
Dead broke, poppin round

I told him, I know what you'll find
Broke down, poppin round
I got stained glass windows in my mind
Broke down, poppin round
I got a ton of jelly and a lot of jam
Broke down, poppin round
And the women all love me when I say Shazam
Broke down, poppin round

Never did the thing in an air raid drill
And I never took the trouble to write my will
Ain't good lookin but I'm hard to kill
All broke up or broke down
Dead broke, poppin round
I wear a funny planter's hat
Look like the wolfman gone to fat
I'm a pretty good man for all of that
All broke up or broke down
On death row, poppin round

Yes
