"Claude & Allie" lyrics

"Claude & Allie"

A librarian and a contractor walk into a bar
The librarian's name is Allie, and the contractor's name is Claude
They order drinks and nervously sit down next to each other and talk
The jukebox wakes up and sings for them so soft

And in the background, pirates and rabbis and bears walk in after them
But Claude and Allie don't notice, 'cause they're lost in conversation
If you're waiting for a punchline, you'll have to wait until you're old
As five years later, the story's still being told
