Natalie Merchant
The Janitor’s Boy
[Chorus]
Oh I'm in love with the janitor's boy
And the janitor's boy is in love with me
Oh I'm in love with the janitor's boy
And the janitor's boy is in love with me
[Verse]
He's going to hunt for a desert isle in our geography
A desert isle with spicy trees
Somewhere in Sheepshead Bay
A right nice place, just fit for two, where we can live always
[Chorus]
Oh I'm in love with the janitor's boy
And the janitor's boy is as busy as he can be
And down in the cellar, he's making a raft
Out of an old settee
[Verse]
He'll carry me off, I know that he will
For his hair is exceedingly red
And the only thing that occurs to me
Is to dutifully shiver in bed
[Verse]
And on the day that we sail, I shall leave this brief note
For my parents I hate to annoy
"I have flown to an isle in the Bay
With the janitor's red-haired boy"
[Bridge]
The janitor's red-haired boy
The janitor's red-haired boy
The janitor's red-haired boy
The janitor's red-haired boy
[Outro]
Gonna sail away
Going to Sheepshead Bay
With my janitor's red-haired boy
On an old settee
My red-haired boy and me
The janitor's red-haired boy
