Leo Kottke - Pepe Hush
текст песни

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
