Milkman coming down the road, he’s got Cartons of love toting at his sides For the kids living down the block who are Emaciated and disfigured: milkless Dishing out jugs of uncurdled joy He is the mobile teat they needed Sing with me, sisters, Brothers, aunts, nephews, and reluctant communists Grandmas, grandpas, dubious half-siblings, twins, triplets, celibate clowns, octo-babies, Devon Milkman, milkman Bottle us a future Deliver the cream Pour us a dream

Milkman coming down the road, he’s got Cartons of love toting at his sides For the kids living down the block who are Emaciated and disfigured: milkless Dishing out jugs of uncurdled joy He is the mobile teat we needed We all needed Sing with me, sisters, Brothers, conjoined uncles, octobabies, disgruntled florists, Devon Milkman, milkman Bottle us a future Deliver the cream Pour us a dream
