My Cardboard Box by The Swirling Eddies Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2007

[Chorus]
Come home with me, honey
'Cause I like you lots
My place gets a little cold, might wanna double your socks
And I'll warm you with my loving
As the temperature drops
We'll make it toasty as an oven in my cardboard box
In my cardboard box
In my cardboard box

[Verse 1]
We’ll cut out nice pictures
Of fine food and drink
Wash our little paper dishes
In the photo of a sink
I’ll tape an ad to your shoulders
Of catalogue mink
Give you newspaper roses
And champagne ink

[Verse 2]
My roommate Willie is a good man
He just mostly gets stoned
But Willie doesn’t dig it
When I bring somebody home
I’ll say "Hey, back off, fat man
I don’t like your tone!"
Believe me, Willie will turn over
And leave the two of us alone
[Chorus]
Come home with me, honey
'Cause I like you lots
My place gets a little cold, might wanna double your socks
And I'll warm you with my loving
As the temperature drops
We'll make it toasty as an oven in my cardboard box
In my cardboard box
In my cardboard box

[Verse 3]
Can you possibly resist me?
Don’t I ring your bell?
You got that certain look that tells me
This is one hard sell
Is it the outfit, sweetie?
Is it the smell?
I’ll slap on eau de cologne
And get you under my spell

[Chorus]
And I'll warm you with my loving
As the temperature drops
We'll make it toasty as an oven in my cardboard box

[Bridge]
When I made the big bucks and had my moment in the sun
I only stood two paychecks between the condo and the slum
In time I grew disgusted by the homeless scum
But babe, I’ve since adjusted
Now that I’m one
[Verse 4]
I punched out a little window
It’s got a very lovely view
We’ll take in all the action
Down on the avenue
And if the natives get restless
And the cops turn cruel
Well, that’s the price you gotta pay
For urban renewal

[Chorus]
Come home with me, sweetie
'Cause I like you lots
My place gets a little cold, might wanna double your socks
And I'll warm you with my loving
As the temperature drops
I'll make it toasty as an oven in my cardboard box
In my cardboard box
In my cardboard box
