Cigarettes and carrot juice Get yourself a new tattoo For those sleeveless days of June I'm sitting on the Cafe Xeno's steps With a book I haven't started yet Watching all the girls walk by Could I take you out I'd be yours without a doubt On that big dipper And if the sound of this it frightens you We could play it real cool And act somewhat indifferent And hey June Why'd you have to come Why'd you have to come around so soon I wasn't ready for all this nature The terrible green, green grass The violent blooms of flower dresses And afternoons that make me sleepy But we could wait awhile Before we push that dull turnstile Into the passage The thousands they have tread And others sometimes fled Before the turn came And we could wait our lives Before a chance arrives Before the passage From the top you can see Monterey Or think about San Jose Although I know it's not that pleasant And hey Jim Kerouac Brother of the famous Jack Or so he likes to say, lucky bastard He's sitting on the cafe's inner steps With a girl that I'm not over yet Watching all the world go by Boy you're looking bad Did I make you feel that sad? I'm honestly flattered But if she asks me out I'd be hers without a doubt On that big dipper A Cigarette and carrot juice And get yourself a new tattoo For those sleeveless days of June I'm sitting on the Cafe Xeno's steps I haven't got the courage yet I haven't got the courage yet I haven't got the courage yet
