  • Well, it came to me one day in Jerksville
    Man, I was right on the edge
    That jacket's too small for a man of your size
    And those socks are too big for your head

    My eyes glaze, whatever you say
    I'm listening, do tell me more
    It goes under the bridge, right over my head
    And out through my portable door

    I was trapped in a dire situation
    Between reason and someone-in-law
    The winner takes all and runs off with the ball
    Nothing could pleasure me more

    Times were, I'd have spoken my piece
    For a minute or two, held the floor
    But I can't get a word in, so here I am hurtling
    Right out through my portable door

    The jabbering's hurting my brain cell so bad
    For once in my life, I am bored
    The public house beckons, I follow the call
    Slip in through my portable door

    The unlikely event came upon me
    I wasn't prepared for the shock
    Once 'round my neck and twice 'round the deck
    And the rest disappeared up the block

    So here we are and everything's changed
    Faster than ever before
    You've gotta be jokin', man, what are you smoking?
    Blow it out through my portable door Writer/s: Bob Ezrin, Don Airey, Ian Gillan, Ian Paice, Roger Glover, Simon McBride
