In the Grandville greyhound station in the lightly drizzlin’ rain
Sittin’ on my suitcase goin’ quietly insane all about you babe all about you
All about you and then no feelin’ double dealin’ things that you do
Uh every man in Grandville says he knows you well
Burn your ears if you could hear the stories that they tell
All about you babe all about you
All about you and then no feelin’ double dealin’ things that you do
[ guitar ] They say you’re picked up every Thursday in a rich man’s limousine
And some cat in San Quentin keeps on havin’ nasty dreams
All about you babe…
[ guitar ] And now the summer sun may burn my back and these tears may dim my sight
But before I die there’s a dirty book I’m gonna write
All about you babe…
[ guitar ] Yeah the Grandville greyhound station
I waited on that night tell me you ain’t gonna show
And I just go on sing this silly song
All about you tell the world all about you
Tell ’em what you are and tell ’em what you wish yeah I’m gonna put your name in
