[All the verses have the same guitar part. The C-Cmaj7-Am7-Am9
section is played one way with the lyrics and another way when
there are no words. For the first verse, I've put the words
under the tablature.]

Watchin' some cars go by
A lady with a baby with only one shoe walks by
Baby on her shoulder has his mouth open more than his eyes
Where's his other shoe?
A little bird is bathing on the driveway in a puddle of old rain
A station wagon honks and swerves and almost hits a squirrel
Squirrel gets crazy-eyed and zippers back and forth across the pavement
Talk about close calls
