I can't see into the future But, I know someone who can She's a gypsy from the midlands And, well, she looks just like a man She says her name is Heather But, to me she'll be a Hector She said she had an accident But, by god...it nearly wrecked her One eye stares, it doesn't move And this one is the best The other follows you around It never leaves your chest She reads tarot, tea leaves and the bones She's a reader of your life She said she's still not married I can't imagine her a wife She'd know just what you're thinking She'd know a lie before it's told And if she's ugly nowadays Imagine her when she gets old The people go to see her when the caravans arrive She will read for twenty dollars Her tent opens at five If you want to know your future Just take notice, listen close Because her lips are slightly puffy And she whistles through her nose She's bent over looking downward On her left side there's a **** On her cheek there is a goiter Behind her ear there is a lump She weighs in at 300 Doesn't stand past 5 foot tall But if you want to know the future Then she's the one to call She's an old afflicted gypsy Has a daughter known as Marge Says she's wanted up in Bristol She's a small medium at large

Heather....The Gypsy
I can't see into the future But, I know someone who can She's a gypsy from the midlands And, well, she looks just like a man She says her name is Heather But, to me she'll be a Hector She said she had an accident But, by god...it nearly wrecked her One eye stares, it doesn't move And this one is the best The other follows you around It never leaves your chest She reads tarot, tea leaves and the bones She's a reader of your life She said she's still not married I can't imagine her a wife She'd know just what you're thinking She'd know a lie before it's told And if she's ugly nowadays Imagine her when she gets old The people go to see her when the caravans arrive She will read for twenty dollars Her tent opens at five If you want to know your future Just take notice, listen close Because her lips are slightly puffy And she whistles through her nose She's bent over looking downward On her left side there's a **** On her cheek there is a goiter Behind her ear there is a lump She weighs in at 300 Doesn't stand past 5 foot tall But if you want to know the future Then she's the one to call She's an old afflicted gypsy Has a daughter known as Marge Says she's wanted up in Bristol She's a small medium at large
