Idiot kitty to New York City 
Living in a kennel and lookin' big and pretty 
Meet the munch for business lunch 
But your feet bleed under the table 

But Suwannee Jo, you're dark and slow 
You dance with a broom and you're filled with ghosts
You smell like liquor and you're high as a hawk 
You laugh to yourself but you talk like a rock 

Scaredy Kate, back in the Haight 
Doesn't answer the phone and eats like a tapeworm
She met Mr.Mike in'89 
But she's a hundred pounds heavier and won't go outside

But Suwannee Jo, You're dark and slow 
You dance with a broom and you're filled with ghosts
Suwannee Jo, strange beautiful gold, 
You can take a woman's husband 
but you don't want to marry him 
You just want to hold him 

Nora Mable, behind your table 
Expensive knowledge from ten years of college
But when it comes to livin', the book isn't written
Your brain's under "M" in the library missing 

Suwannee Jo, you follow your soul 
(Nothing more important than following your soul)
