[G] [D] [G]
Well, [D] it took me a woman late last night I was three-fourths drunk, she looked [G] all right
[D] Till she started peeling off her onion gook She took off her wig, said, how [G] do I look?
Eyes high-flying, fair naked, out the window
[Dm] [G]
[D] Well, sometimes I might get drunk Walk like a duck [G] and smell like a skunk
[D] Don't hurt me, nonna, don't hurt my pride Cause I got my little lady right [G] by my side
She's a-tryin' to hide, tellin' she don't owe me
[Dm]
[G]
[D] Eyes out there paintin' on the old woodshed When a can of black paint, it [G] fell on my head
[D] I went down to scrub and rub But I had [G] to sit in back of the tub
Cost a quarter, [D] [Dm] [G] half price
Well, my telephone [D] rang, it would not stop This President Kennedy [G] callin' me up
He [D] said, my friend Bob, what do we need To make the country a-grow?
I said, my friend John, Bridget [G] Bardot Anita Eckberg, Sophia Loren, country a-grow
[D] Well,
[G]
[D] I got a woman five feet short She yells and [G] hollers and screams and snorts
[D] She tickles my nose, pats me on the head Rolls [G] me over and kicks me out of bed
She's a man-eater, meat grinder, bad loser
[Dm] [G] Oh, [D] there ain't no use in me workin' all the time I got a woman [G] who works herself blind
[D] Works up to her britches, up to her neck Writes me [G] letters and sends me checks
She's a hum-dinger, folk singer
[Dm] [G]
Late one day in the middle [D] of the week
Eyes were [G] closed, I was half asleep [D] I chased me a woman up the hill
Right in the [G] middle of an irate drill I jumped the fallout shelter
I jumped the string bean I jumped the TV dinner
I jumped the shotgun
[Dm]
[G] I had a man on the [D] stand, he wants my vote He's a-runnin' for [G] office on a ballot note
[D] He's out there preachin' in front of the steeple Tellin' me he loves [G] all kinds of people
He's eatin' bagels, he's eatin' pizza He's eatin' shitlins
[D] [G] Oh, [D] I sat me down on the television floor I flicked the channel [G] to number four
[D] Out of the shower comes a football man With a bottle of [G] oil in his hand
Gracie Kid stuff
[D] What I wanna know, Mr.
Football Man, is what do you do [G] about Willie Mays?
Martin Luther King, Ola Tunji [Dm] [G] Whoa -ho
Well, the funniest [D] woman I ever seen Was the great-granddaughter of Mr.
[G] Clean
She [D] takes about fifteen baths a day Wants me to grow a [G] mustache on my face She's insane
[Dm] [G]
[D] Well, she asks me why I'm drunk all the time It levels my head [G] and eases my mind
I just walk [D] along and stroll and sing I see better [G] days and I do better things
I catch dinosaurs, make love to Elizabeth Taylor Catch hell from Richard Burton
[Dm]
