Al Duvall - Steam Grate Lyrics

While poking through the garbage
I sing a little song:
"Times are good
When the cigarette butts are long."
Myself, I ain't good-lookin'
But girls, I take my time
Just two more nickels
And I'll have an even dime
Now March in New York City's
As cold as mother's touch
A little heat--
Is that asking too much?
I huddle with my colleagues;
The pigeons and the rats
Just one warm place left--
They closed the Automat

Steam grate, steam grate
I'm sleeping in the steam
Steam grate, steam grate
I'll see you in your dreams
Steam grate, steam grate
I'm sleeping in the steam
Steam grate, steam grate
I'll see you in your dreams
At night I ride the billows
I seep into the vent
I hide inside your pillows
And I see that your dreams are bent
I like your little sister
I see her every night
At sleepy-time
She never turns out the light

Steam grate, steam grate
I'm sleeping in the steam
Steam grate, steam grate
I'll see you in your dreams
Steam grate, steam grate
I'm sleeping in the steam
Steam grate, steam grate
I'll see you in your dreams

Your grandpa's weak and lonely
It makes me feel sad
I gave him the last
Nightmare he ever had
I peek in at your parents
All snuggled in their bed
But in your mama's noggin
I'm sleeping with her instead
Steam grate, steam grate
I'm sleeping in the steam
Steam grate, steam grate
I'll see you in your dreams
Steam grate, steam grate
I'm sleeping in the steam
Steam grate, steam grate
I'll see you in your dreams
