Rosie and Pauly in the back alley
the funniest twosome that you ever did see
Standing on a trash can, Pauly talks
If he ain't too drunk and his words are clear
he gives the prettiest sermon you ever did hear
while Rosie wags her tail by the collection box
When I'm low on inspiration
I go down and join the congregation
Chorus:
Come on, Pauly, come and save my soul
Everybody's tryin' but you never do know
and it sure feels good to say, "Amen
" Come on, Pauly, come and save my soul
It's driving me crazy and I'm losing control
but you always help me get it back together again

Neffertiti and the girls are there fanning themselves on Eddie's back stair
Pauly always sets their souls on fire
Movin' and shakin' and wavin' their hands,
raisin' their voices to a far-away land,
they start in singing like a great big choir
With harmonies that sound so sweet
you forget all about the trash beneath your feet

CHORUS

Call him a Messiah,
or just another clown,
but somethin' about the trash can prophet
always leads me to a higher ground

CHORUS
