Jimmy and Chichi Choo (Sub-Dylan Bullshit Blues) (Free verse) by the codeine kid
Baby's in the kitchen bangin' pots n pans
I'm sitting at the table drinking out of cans
Baby she's not talking but she sure makes lots of noise
and I guess she's trying to tell me that I'm just like all those other
boys
No drive and no ambition, playing video games in darkened rooms
And melting little crystals with cheap lighters under spoons
"It's like kissing God," I tell her
but baby she don't care
"Well kiss my ass," she spits "and tell god to comb his hair
You know I got no time for losers and I got no time for junk"
"Ah baby lighten up, get down, get loose and get some funk"
"But you aint touched me for months"she cries
"You couldn't raise it for a bet...
ah fuck it what's the use I need another cigarette"
"Hey babe can I bum one I'll pay you back in just a while"
But baby she just screams so I just shrug and hold a smile
Cos I know despite her anger that she really loves me true
and I'm thinking about the time
that Jimmy hooked me up with Chichi Choo
You see, daddy's little rich girl
she's got patches on her jeans
and despite daddy's ambition it's with me she's always seen
Now I ain't got no agenda, guess I'm too cool for that
But if baby wants recognition then she'll be my pussy cat
I can give her all the street cred
that a rich girl ever needs
But you can't buy brains in Camden
from a market selling beads
So daddy may not like me but baby needs me around
and I don't really give a fuck as long as I can get around
down town
You see I need to get my sweet stuff...
that's right I need to score
and I suppose I need my baby but I need this shit far more
And that's where my little rich girl comes in good and has her uses
there's a lot of cash in that purse to pay for all those juices
In return she gets a write up in all the daily papers
By simply being with me she's with the movers and the shakers
I may be from the streets but now I'm real hot property
and all the music magazines want a piece of me
(Ah shit it's not immoral, what can a poor boy do?
My baby's got her front page and I got Chichi Choo)
Now baby's on my arm again
getting seen in all the right places
And christ it's hard to put a name
to all these different faces
For a time I play the game
and schmooze around with all these leeches
Baby pouts and poses showing off her well bred features
Cameras flash and light bulbs pop
and baby's looking fine
So while she's in the limelight I slip away and do a line
I meet my old friend Jimmy, hey Jimmy's got some smack
We cook up in a cubicle and fire that shit right back
And that was how I met her, this chick named Chichi Choo
A friend of Jimmy's "she's cool" he smiles
and Chichi hits some too
Now this kid Chichi, she's cute in a drugged and wasted way
So I tell chichi I like her and she says
"Well that's okay"
I ask her for her number and she writes it on my hand
"I've been into you a long time and I really like your band"
"Well I'd love to stick around" I say
"But there's something I must do...
Gotta hang around with rich girls
instead of Jimmy and Chichi Choo"
"I'm kinda with this girl you see,this rich kid i got in tow
and it's a real bad fucking downer but I guess I gotta go
but Chichi baby it's okay, don't you fret too much
I'll be around tomorrow and I promise I'll be in touch"
So Chichi does the right thing and that honey disappears
"Hey Jimmy I best be going I got this burning in my ears"
Now I'm feeling kinda mellow which I guess is just as well
Because baby's honking voice
sometimes shreds my nerves to hell
"Oh suger where you been?" she asks
"It's okay babe I'm here
I just met a friend i used to know and had myself a beer"
"Well suger you'll never guess but I got news for you
I'm going to be on the cover of next months issue of GQ"
"Well baby that's real nice I always knew you'd get your way
I'll even buy myself as copy that'll really make my day"
And I'm thinking "well she's pretty and I'm sure she'll sell a few"
And while she's on the shoot I'll hook up with Chichi Choo
Well I called around to Chichi's
and she said "this feels so right
now come into the kitchen while I cook some China White"
I told her baby's on a photo shoot
but it's Chichi that I miss
She said "Never nind your baby come and shoot some more of this"
So now Chichi's in the kitchen banging pots n pans
and I'm right in there with her avoidiing ceiling fans
We got needles, we got razors, we got powders, we got pot
We got all weekend together and we're going to do the lot
We'll lie around and giggle and we'll stay all day in bed
And I'll write those songs another time when there's less shit in my
head
I don't care about tomorrow or the the things that matter most
I'll just spend my life with Chichi
shooting smack and chewing toast
I won't think about my baby returning from her photo shoot
Because tonight i'm here with Chichi and she sure is looking cute
I could be hanging around with rich girls
but i'm here with Chichi Choo
Maybe tomorrow we'll call on Jimmy
and hey Jimmy vcan have some too
Yeah I said I could bne hanging around with rich girls
but I'm here with Chichi Choo
for sure tomorrow we'll call on Jimmy
just me and Chichi Choo
Yeah that's me and Chichi Choo
that's right honey
Just me and Chichi Choo
Well wouldn't you?
Damn fucking right you would
