He's got a Tattoo of New Jersey
on his chest
Teaneck is the town
he loves the best
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got a bunion on his foot
and it hurts him, you know
right where he squashed Satan
with his big toe
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got earrings of Jimmy Carter
building a barn
and Susan B. Anthony
knitting red white + blue yarn
He's got the whole world in his hands

The Blind Girls of Amsco sang

an off-stage voice shouted
What else he got?

for the "unpublished" verses
