Well, i took me a woman late last night
I's three fourths drunk, she looked all right
Just started peelin' off her onion gook
She took off her wig, said, "How do i look?''
I's high flyin', bare naked, out the window.
Well, sometimes i might get drunk
Walk like a duck an smell like a skunk
Dont hurt me none, dont hurt my pride
Cause i got my little lady right by my side.
She's tryin to hide pretendin' she dont know me.
I's out there paintin' on the ol' woodshed
When a can of black paint it fell on my head
I went down to scrub an rub
But i had to sit in back of the tub.
Cost a quarter, half price.
Well, my telephone rang it wouldn't stop
It was president Kennedy callin' me up
He said, "My friend Bob
What do we need to make the country grow?''
I said, "My friend John, Brigitte Bardot
Anita Ekberg, Sophia Loren, country'll grow!''
Well, i got a woman five feet short
She yells an' hollers an' screams an shorts
She tickles my nose an pats me on the back
Rolls me over an kicks me outta bed.
She's a man eater, meat grinder, bad loser.
Oh, there ain't no use in me workin' all the time
I got a woman who works herself blind
Works up to her britches, up to her neck
Writes me letters an send me checks.
She's a hum dinger, folksinger.
Late one day in the middle of the week
Eyes were closed, i's half asleep
I chased me a woman up the hill
Right in the middle of an air road drill.
I jumped a fallout shelter
I jumped a string bean
I jumped the tv dinner
I jumped a shot gun.
Now, the man on the stand he wants my vote
He's a-runnin' for office on a ballot note
He's out there preachin' in' front of the steeple
Tellin' me he loves all kinds of people.
He's eatin' bagels, he's eatin' pizzas, he's eatin' chitlins.
Oh, set me down on the television floor
I'll flipped the channel up to number four
Out of the shower comes a football man
With a bottle of oil in his hand
Greasy kid stuff
What i wanna know Mr football man is
What do you do about Willy Mays, Martin Luther King, Olatunji?
Well, the funniest woman i have ever seen
Was the great granddaughter of Mr Clean
She takes about fifteen baths a day
Wants me to grow a moustache on my face
She's insane.
Well, you ask me why i'm drunk all the time
It levels my head an' eases my mind
I just walk along an' stroll an sing
I see better days an' i do better things
I catch dinosaurs
Make love to Elisabeth Taylor
Catch hell from Richard Burton.
