Leo Kottke - Pepe HushLyrics

The sun comes up on a fleabag our hero checks in at four He's snoring away on a dune rag but it's dawn and he'll snore no more There's a cough, a sneeze, a dreadful bark, some woman yells hush up The woman is louder than Pepe is but Pepe will not shut up Pepe hush, don't make so much noise Pepe hush, don't make so much noise He bounds on the wall with his left foot and jumps on the bed with his right The woman is screaming at Pepe and Pepe seems very uptight Pepe hush, don't make so much noise Pepe hush, don't make so much noise He falls on the lamp with his face first and fries his nose on the bulb He scratches his eye on the lamp shade and falls on the floor with a thud Pepe hush, don't make so much noise Pepe hush, don't make so much noise That drove Pepe crazy, now Pepe knew something was up or down The guy is completely unconscious and Pepe's got his ear to the ground He barked for his mom to protect him He barked for the clown at the desk He barked for no good reason Pepe was doing his best Pepe hush, don't make so much noise Pepe hush, don't make so much noise So in a dream he advanced, he'd break that woman's arm Her ulna did not stand a chance, but the dog would be the first thing he'd harm He hung it outside on a power line and laughed as it emitted sparks But when he regained his consciousness the first thing he heard was a bark He said Pepe hush, don't make so much noise Pepe hush, don't make so much noise
