The new album by Tom Waits is a fantastic piece of work. Here he is on the Jimmy Fallon show, crooning “Raised Right Men” from Bad as Me. (He cut out a verse from this shortened TV version.)

There ain’t enough raised right men
it takes a raised right man to keep a happy hen
I said there ain’t enough raised right men

heavens to murkatroid
miners to coal
a good woman can make a diamond out of a measly lump of coal
and you need the patience of a glacier
if you can wait that long
open up his window and admit it when he’s wrong

there ain’t enough raised right men
it takes a raised right man to keep a happy hen

Mackey Debiasi
was a complicated man
he quarreled with his woman
and she quarreled with her man
his head was just too thick
so she knocked out a tooth
he’s that lonely man on the turnpike in the
toll takers booth

there ain’t enough raised right men

Gunplay Maxwell and
Flat Nose George
Ice Pick Ed Newcomb
on a slab in the morgue
Flat Nose looked at Gunplay
and they all looked at me
with a good woman’s love we
could have saved all three

and there ain’t enough raised right men
It takes a raised right man to keep a happy hen
there ain’t enough raised right men
