Loudon Wainwright III - The Hardy Boys at the 'Y' (Untitled)
Am C G Am
Joe met Frank whilst working out at the YMCA
Am C G Am
The bench presses & the forearm curls are what got them off that day
Am Dm
On the floor of a darkened locker room
E
For an hour these two did lay Am C G Am
In the distance they heard others basketball their lives away
E - E7
their lives away
Their work being over to the showers these two did go
In the shower room they showered & Frank gave his soap to Joe
A varicose veined tired exec, what the thing just did not know
Frank asked his chum to do his back & places down below, down below
To this request Joe did agree with a time square sleazy smile
The gaping mouths of washed up jocks could not cramp Joe's style
Fondling done with soaped up hands can indeed beguile
It was Greek to them & they came again
Trashing on cold tile, on cold tile
They strolled around the locker room taking in the sights
They mounted scales, they weighed themselves
Out of habit they checked their heights
Together they squeezed blackheads underneath fluorescent lights
Then Frank performed a modern dance in Joe's bikini tights, bikini tights
Joe & Frank they left the 'Y' their exercising done
They ambled down West 23rd, their love had just begun
Back inside a dad tied sneakers for his six year old young son
And around & around the indoor track a pretty girl did run, she did run.
