[Verse 1]
Imagine if you will, a Herr Proctor, alias and nobleman
Son of son of sky, and of scion
Part of his rich inheritance parceled and generous divorce
Sentence forthwith being
Certain blocks of land and living quarters
Deemed by all gentlemen and wives thereof
To be "Grossly humane and frankly, quite undirty"

[Chorus]
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin' and I'll try
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin' and I will try

[Verse 2]
Herr Proctor, in his enviable good taste
Tries quick escape gambit via local periodicals
But no takers - the land
Re-stationed in the conduit between two cells
A veritable no-man's-land, array of the flophouse
Cardboard materials and carbon-monoxide wallpaper
All his brig-deck Torino boys ask is irrelevant
