But Petro had discarded his red coat
and Patsy had a new green suit
Patsy is the monkey-instead of his
| old dirty red plush panties that he
used to wear Any way it was the
same monkey and the same old grin
ming Italian that stood on one foot
and poked his worn out toe in the
air. He was here and he played for
half an hour at the transfer station
