I woke up this morning with a bad hangover
And my preamp was missing again
This happens all the time
It's detachable

This comes in handy a lot of the time
I can leave it home, when I think it's gonna get me in trouble or I can rent it out, when I don't need it
But now and then I go to a party, get drunk, and the next morning I can't for the life of me remember what I did with it.
First I looked around my apartment, and I couldn't find it.
So I called up the place where the party was, they hadn't seen it either.
I asked them to check the medicine cabinet 'cause for some reason I leave it there sometimes
But not this time.
So I told them if it pops up to let me know.
I called a few people who were at the party, but they were no help either.
I was starting to get desperate.
I really don't like being without my preamp for too long.
It makes me feel like less of a man, and I really hate having to sit down every time I take a leak.
After a few hours of searching the house, and calling everyone I could think of,
I was starting to get very depressed, so I went to the Kiev, and ate breakfast.
Then, as I walked down Second Avenue towards St. Mark's Place, where all those people sell used books and other junk on the street,
I saw my preamp lying on a blanket next to a broken toaster oven.
Some guy was selling it.
I had to buy it off him.
He wanted twenty-two bucks, but I talked him down to seventeen.
I took it home, washed it off, and put it back on. I was happy again. Complete.
People sometimes tell me I should get it permanently attached, but I don't know.
Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass,
I like having a detachable preamp.
