lyrics

Bokar
There’s a town in Wisconsin that you gotta go see
The women all stand and salute when they pee
Men all eat their hamburgers raw
The butcher’s well over three feet tall in Bokar

I went to a restaurant. Who did I see
At the next table over throwing breadsticks at me?
Jimmy Hoffa, Amelia Earhart, and half the staff of the local Kmart in Bokar

Nothing here makes any sense
There’s a Masonic Temple with a barbed wire fence
City Counsel praise the Pagan Gods
Stir their martinis with divining rods in Bokar

People here they’re out of their gourds
They’re stirrin’ up Kool-Aid with water from Lourdes
Someone tried to sell me a piece of the cross
And a bottle of the Virgin Mary’s Barbeque Sauce in Bokar

about

Rich Krueger Chicago, Illinois

A literary songwriter of the first rank. It’s his quavering, compassionate, observant, imaginative, sometimes overstuffed, always eloquent songwriting that his crack bands are there to put across, as they do, unfailingly.... the kind of miracle that keeps me checking out thousands of albums a year so I can grade a couple hundred for posterity.
- Robert Christgau, Dean of American Rock Critics
