7424. THAT MARY, THAT MARY

THAT MARY, THAT MARY
I opened the 'Spoonful of Silver' coffee shop 
as a mistake already  -  it was supposed to be 
'Spoonful of Sugar', but I don't know why. 
It was in answer to a coffee shop in Plainfield, 
catering to blacks, which I think doesn't really 
welcome white people. It's called, 'Black, no 
Sugar.' But they say 'Shuga', which I think is 
supposed to mean sugar, but, I  don't even know 
that. Maybe it was my sign-painter's mistake, that 
spoonful of silver thing, I don't remember that either. 
Like waking from twenty dreams all at once;
how's a guy supposed to get on?
