Title:  I got a note

Composer:  Joe Raposo ?

Lead vocals:  Jim Boyd

Backing vocals:  none

Scene:  Jim as Crank in his apartment, trying to decipher a perplexing message.

[JB]  I got a note that’s quite mysterious.

I got a note.  I think they’re serious.

I got a note, and it’s no bunk.

It says, “Crank, let the skunk outta the trunk.”

I got a note that I’m quite smitten on.

It ain’t worth the paper it’s written on.

It tells me clearly to free a skunk,

But there’s one thing missing.  That is the trunk.

I got lots of boxes around this place,

And there’s plenty of luggage to take up space.

I got paper bags, jars full of junk,

But I don’t have a trunk to imprison a skunk!

This note was meanten for some other guy.

Maybe I’ll find him, if I’d only try

To sort out the answer from all this junk,

And come up with a guy with a trunk for a skunk!
