lyrics

I am a bicyclist for the post office
Folks pay an extra dime to save a little time
And send their correspondence special delivery
They get a bright blue stamp and me in my livery

I set out each day with my weighty canvas pack
The Santa Ana breeze pushes gently at my back
Row after row of orange groves
When I reach the foothills, my pace slows

Miss Becky Jane Joplin,
I don’t mean to sound annoyed
As it’s you and your kind who keep me gainfully employed
But your driveway is long and your driveway is steep
And the letters I bring you don’t run very deep

Becky Jane Joplin!
Becky Jane Joplin!
Becky Jane Joplin!

about

Harriet Records Port Jefferson, New York

I ran Harriet Records between 1989 and 1998 out of Cambridge, MA. I released 10 CDs (most of which are available here) and 45 singles. There are 11 "new" releases so far, most recently the Coronets (London, ca 2000) and Kisswhistle (Pittsburgh). New releases next year by Chris Barickman, the Lookout Honeys, and a follow-up Ekphrastics CD!
